Abstract

"Nagorno-Karabakh: Getting to a Breakthrough", the International Crisis Group's latest policy briefing, examines the two-decades-old conflict and concludes there is reason for optimism that the political stalemate can be broken in today's more supportive regional environment. However, it also warns that both governments and the international community must step up their efforts, as the status quo is increasingly untenable.
