Diplomacy: Armenia and Azerbaijan agree on peace agreements

The two hostile ex-Soviet republics Armenia and Azerbaijan in South Caucasus have agreed on the draft peace agreement after a long conflict. Both sides announced that the negotiations on the draft were completed. The content was not published at first. According to the Armenian Foreign Ministry in Eriwan, the agreement is ready for signature.

Eriwan accepts the Bakus suggestions regarding two so far unresolved articles in the draft and is ready to record advice on the time and place of signing with the Azerbaijanic side. The Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Baku announced that Armenia had to change its constitution and had to do without all territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenia had lost control of the Berg-Karabach conflict region in an attack in Azerbaijan.

Berg-Karabach belongs to Azerbaijan by international law, but has kept itself as an apostle in the southern Caucasus since the 1990s with the help of the Armenian army and thanks to the protective power. In September 2023, troops from the authoritarian Azerbaijani head of state Ilham Aliyev brought the area back under their control. As a result of the attacks by the Azerbaijani army, more than 100,000 Karabach Armenians fled. Eriwan accused Baku of expulsion and “ethnic cleansing”.
