Azerbaijan has gained support from Armenia to host COP29, despite being arch-rivals. This comes after Armenia agreed to stop blocking Azerbaijan's bid. The decision follows a meeting of eastern European nations, paving the way for Baku to host the global climate talks. The move has sparked tensions in the region, with Turkey's Erdogan labeling France's arms sales to Armenia as a 'provocation'. Azerbaijan, which gets 97% of its electricity from oil and gas, is set to be announced as the host of COP29. The next UN climate change summit appears set to take place in Azerbaijan, resolving a bitter political standoff over the hosting nation.
