Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
Armenia/Azerbaijan: Peace agreement finalized
The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have reached a peace agreement in the decades-long conflict. The negotiations have been concluded, said Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov on Thursday. The Armenian Foreign Ministry confirmed this.
There had previously been two outstanding points, for which a compromise had now been found, it said. Originally, the peace treaty should have been signed by the end of 2023. The head of the Armenian government, Nikol Pashinyan, said that the agreement would stipulate that no armed forces from third countries would be stationed on the border.
The Russian government had recently announced that it would end its military presence in the Caucasus region. No concrete timetable for the withdrawal was initially announced. Russian soldiers had been stationed in the region since 2020 - according to the Kremlin, in order to prevent a renewed flare-up of violence. However, when the Azerbaijani troops last advanced, the Russian troops did not intervene.
The two ex-Soviet republics have fought two wars against each other in recent decades. The war was over control of the Nagorno-Karabakh region. In 2023, the Azerbaijani army took control of the region in a large-scale military offensive. The region is mainly inhabited by ethnic Armenians, but belongs to Azerbaijan under international law. More than 100,000 people fled to Armenia as a result of the military operation.
A war was also fought over Nagorno-Karabakh in 2020. At that time, Russian representatives brokered a ceasefire agreement between the parties to the conflict.
