Azerbaijan pushes for transboundary water cooperation as peace agenda expands

The peace agenda between Azerbaijan and Armenia is gradually expanding beyond political and security arrangements towards broader regional cooperation. Over the past six years, the two countries have made significant progress in addressing the consequences of their decades-long conflict. The November 12 meeting between President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in Dublin, where the leaders welcomed the establishment of working groups on transboundary river management, represents another important development in this process. The initiative carries particular significance for Azerbaijan, whose water security depends considerably on rivers originating beyond its borders.
