Armenia and Azerbaijan Finalize Peace Agreement to End Decades-Long Conflict

The two nations have agreed on the text of a treaty, with discussions underway to determine the signing date and location.

Armenia and Azerbaijan have concluded negotiations on a peace agreement to resolve their decades-long conflict, including disputes over Nagorno-Karabakh.
Both countries confirmed the treaty text is finalized, with Armenia expressing readiness to discuss dates and locations for the signing ceremony.
The agreement includes provisions barring the deployment of foreign forces along the shared border after the treaty is signed.
Tensions persist, with Armenia criticizing Azerbaijan for unilaterally announcing the agreement instead of issuing a joint statement.
The deal follows Azerbaijan's 2023 military recapture of Nagorno-Karabakh, prompting over 100,000 ethnic Armenians to flee the region.
