NATO’s 2025 annual report highlights progress in the Armenia–Azerbaijan peace process, describing developments as a positive step toward regional stability.

“The initialling of the August peace deal was a major step towards normalization and regional security,” the report states.

NATO emphasized the strategic importance of the South Caucasus, particularly in the context of broader regional dynamics linked to Russia’s war in Ukraine.

The report notes that the Alliance “welcomed meaningful progress towards peace” and expressed readiness to deepen dialogue and cooperation with both Armenia and Azerbaijan.

It also highlights the role of the United States in supporting the peace process.

Separately, NATO underscored Armenia’s participation in its Building Integrity Programm, aimed at strengthening transparency and governance in the defense sector.

Armenia is listed among countries receiving “active support” under the initiative, alongside partners such as Georgia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Moldova.
