There are still hurdles to a final peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the U.S. Intelligence Community notes.
In its Annual Threat Assessment report released by the Office of the Director of U.S. National Intelligence on March 18, the U.S. Intelligence Community, in particular, cites Azerbaijan’s demand that Armenia change its constitution. This is reported by Azatutyun.am.
“[Azerbaijani] President [Ilham] Aliyev continues to insist that Armenia change its constitution to remove a reference that he characterizes as claiming Nagorno-Karabakh is part of Armenia, a step which would require Armenia to hold a constitutional referendum whose passage is not guaranteed,” the report says.
At the same time, the report notes that the U.S.-sponsored Peace Summit that was held between Armenia and Azerbaijan on August 8, 2025 “has created an opportunity for the two countries to establish a lasting peace deal and contributed to increasing regional stability.”
