In 2024, Armenia continued to navigate significant political and social developments shaped by the aftermath of the war in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) with the further seizure of Artsakh territory by Azerbaijan and ethnic cleansing of its Armenian population.
Armenia’s relationship with Azerbaijan and negotiations over the peace agreement remain a central issue for the general public. The constant threat of war, border delimitation and demarcation, the rights of Artsakh people, and humanitarian concerns all dominate the political discourse. Meanwhile, civil society organisations (CSOs) have continued their work to support Artsakh families through economic, social and psychological turmoil, and to provide medical assistance, as well as promoting their right to return to their homeland at the international level. A number of CSOs established in Artsakh re-registered in Armenia in late 2023 and 2024.
