Is COP17 an environmental or a political conference?

Guests arriving in golf carts, the Security Council Secretary taking a phone call from Aliyev's aide, Turkey's Minister of Agriculture visiting Yerevan, and Nikol Pashinyan's statement on halting deforestation.

The opening of COP17 was accompanied not only by environmental messages, but also by political ones.

However, the biodiversity conference agenda failed to address the issues of Artsakh's forests, the damage caused by the war, and the operation of the Amulsar mine.
