Particular attention was paid to the question of the Declaration of Independence and its interpretation as a tool for the prevention of genocide, rather than a territorial claim.

In the framework of the discussion, the following question was also raised. can the rejection of the Declaration be considered as a de facto acceptance of Ilham Aliyev’s position?

The historical retrospective of the late 1980s took a key place. it was discussed whether the issue of the status of Artsakh at that time was a matter of territory or survival.

In addition, the appropriateness of modern comparisons with Nakhijevan as an example of “loss through demography” was considered, and whether the Sumgait pogroms can be considered the main motive behind decisions on reunification was discussed.

Issues of regional communications were discussed, including the railway connection between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as possible alternative routes and approaches for the development of transport links.
