Aghdam’s return and memory that shapes Azerbaijan’s future

Aghdam today stands as a city where memory and reality intersect. Once reduced to ruins through years of occupation, it is now gradually re-emerging as a living urban space, shaped by return, reconstruction, and reflection. The reopening of residential neighborhoods in the city is not merely a housing milestone; it is a reminder of what was deliberately destroyed, what was endured, and what is being rebuilt. In this setting, the broader questions of accountability, international conduct, historical justice, and the fragile path toward peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia come sharply into focus.
