The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is the longest unresolved dispute in the region. After the ceasefire agreement in 1994, there is a “no war no peace” situation, but every year tens of soldiers die in the armed clashes between Azerbaijan and Armenia on the border. Since 1992, the Minsk Group has been the mediator of the conflict. In this study, first, previously proposed solutions to the conflict will be examined; and after discussing the positions of the Azerbaijani and Armenian sides, the positions of the Minsk Group co-chairs, the USA, Russia and France, will be analyzed. Then, after the ineffectiveness of the Minsk Group and the reasons of this are examined, some suggestions will be made for a more successful negotiation process. Turkey’s role in the negotiation process needs to be strengthened. It will be useful to set up a smaller negotiating group, raise its level and increase its seriousness. Having a certain mediator for the process, and setting a specific calendar will move the negotiations more successfully. Russia is at the top of countries that are interested in the conflict today. As in the case of Syria, Russia and Turkey can take common steps towards an agreement on the Karabakh conflict
