Azerbaijan, Armenia reach historic agreement on peace deal

Azerbaijan has announced that a peace agreement has been reached with Armenia, resolving the longstanding conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh and marking a significant step toward regional stability. Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov confirmed that Armenia had agreed to Azerbaijan’s proposals on two previously unresolved articles of the peace deal, reports AJ.

Though details of the articles were not disclosed, it is believed that Armenia has agreed to amend its constitution to remove references to Karabakh’s "independence," a key demand from Azerbaijan. Bayramov emphasized that this development marked the end of a crucial phase in the negotiations, bringing both countries closer to a final peace agreement.

Azerbaijani presidential adviser Hikmet Hajiyev remarked that resolving constitutional issues in Armenia would help accelerate the peace process. He also dismissed attempts by Armenia to revive the Minsk Group, a body created in the 1990s to mediate the conflict, calling it "an outdated tool with no real function."

The agreement follows years of conflict, with the region's tensions dating back to 1991, when Armenian forces occupied Nagorno-Karabakh and adjacent Azerbaijani territories. The situation escalated in 2020, when Azerbaijan reclaimed much of the territory in a 44-day war, eventually leading to a ceasefire brokered by Russia.

Since then, peace talks have been slow-moving. However, Azerbaijan’s military actions in September 2024 and the flight of the region’s Armenian population have paved the way for renewed diplomatic efforts. This year, Armenia began withdrawing from several Azerbaijani villages, further demonstrating its commitment to the peace process.

With the latest developments, both sides have expressed hope that the peace agreement will pave the way for a lasting resolution to the conflict and contribute to greater stability in the Caucasus region.
