This commentary examines the seemingly intractable Nagorny-Karabakh conflict. As both Armenia and Azerbaijan have strengthened their state institutions, the ability of international actors to achieve a resolution to this conflict has declined.

Indeed, concerted international attention to solve the crisis might only come if the Minsk process actually breaks down, or so the commentary concludes.
