A recently-published report by the International Crisis Group (ICG), a Brussels-based think tank, highlights three potential areas for cooperation between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the northern region along their shared border. The report comes after clashes erupted in the area in mid-July in the deadliest outbreak of hostilities between the two countries since 2016, refocusing international attention on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and how it has morphed into a direct conflict between two states – Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Time is running out for Azerbaijan as COVID-19 is drawing the post-oil era closer: Petrostrategies

Time is running out for Azerbaijan. While hydrocarbons are its main political and economic asset, the Covid-19 pandemic is drawing the post-oil era closer. The country’s reserves are now more than half depleted, and oil prices could stay low for a long time, perhaps indefinitely. Not only will Baku’s budgetary oil revenues be lower than before (probably $8 billion in 2020 instead of $20 billion per annum a few years ago), but the higher gas revenues that it had hoped for (with the planned entry into service of the TAP gasline to Italy at the end of 2020) probably won’t materialize. This colossal gas project, which required more than $40 billion in investment, can only be profitable if the price of oil is higher than $70/b. This may never be the case again, unless something unforeseen occurs.
