Overview

• The peace agreement, announced on March 13, is set to end over 30 years of conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, including two wars over the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
• Key provisions of the treaty include the absence of third-party forces along the shared border and the withdrawal of mutual legal actions in international courts.
• Azerbaijan insists Armenia amend its Constitution, which references territorial claims on Nagorno-Karabakh, as a prerequisite for signing the agreement.
• The conflict has displaced over 100,000 ethnic Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh following Azerbaijan's military offensive in September 2023.
• Mediation efforts by Russia, the EU, and the US played a role in advancing negotiations, though tensions persist over the unilateral announcement of the agreement.
