Vienna, Austria, 02 March 2021 - The now available Study Group Information (SGI) consists of an Extended List of Policy Recommendations from the 2nd RSSC SG/PfPC Virtual Roundtable, held on December 4th, 2020. In the wake of the second Nagorno-Karabakh war, these special contributions anchor on the new reality and look to the new challenges of regional peace-building. On November 10th, 2020 the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia signed a Trilateral Statement providing for a ceasefire and a set of guidelines for a future peace deal. However, this Statement is far away from a peace plan. It left open key issues, such as: the final status; the future role of the OSCE Minsk Group and of other international actors, the conditions for the return of the refugees and IDP’s, and how the growing mistrust and conflict-driven animosities between the two communities would be overcome. This booklet aims to help filling in the gaps in the Trilateral Statement and paving the way towards peaceful conflict resolution.
