Welcome to Episode 1 of the Geopolitics Snapshot, where we take a look at current geopolitical events that are shaping the world around us!

This time we take a look at the Caucasus: On April 19th 2024, it was reported that Armenia and Azerbaijan reached an agreement to delineate a part of their Northern border. Four abandoned Azerbaijani villages that were occupied by Armenia since the 1990s will be returned to Baku's jurisdiction.

Although the change in territorial control is limited, it's a huge step towards a formal peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan. However, there are still many pitfalls. In this video, we explore the details of this new agreement, what the territorial transfer and the delineation of the border will mean for Armenia and Azerbaijan down the line and why a military conflict could still emerge, especially over the Zangezur Corridor.
