The OSCE has ended the Minsk Process, declaring its past decisions on the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict invalid after both countries jointly requested closure of the structures.
Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed on Monday that the OSCE Ministerial Council adopted the decision on 1 September 2025. The move ends the mandate of the OSCE Minsk Process, the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office on the conflict, and the High-Level Planning Group.
According to the statement, the OSCE Secretariat will complete administrative and technical matters linked to the closure by 1 December 2025. It was also declared that all earlier OSCE decisions on the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict are now invalid.
The ministry said this formal step reflects recognition that the structures created to address the conflict are no longer relevant. It added that the outcome acknowledges Azerbaijan’s restoration of sovereignty and territorial integrity over its former occupied territories.
The decision follows the Washington D.C. meeting hosted by U.S. President Donald Trump in August, where Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan agreed to advance normalisation efforts.
“This adoption is an important step towards implementing the agreements reached between Azerbaijan and Armenia on the normalization process,” Azerbaijan’s foreign ministry said, stressing that Baku will continue its position based on international law to strengthen regional peace and stability.
