Armenia and Azerbaijan are completed by a draft peace agreement to resolve the conflict | News
Peace negotiations are progressing after Azerbaijanovo returned Karabah again, pushing according to the contract to end the decade of long hostilities.
Armenian and Azerbaijan’s officials said they agreed on the text of the peace agreement to end almost four decades of conflict between the Southern Caucasus countries, a sudden breakthrough in the appropriate and appropriate and often bitter peace process.
Two post-Soviet countries have run a series of wars since the late 1980s, when the urgent-carabah, the region in Azerbaijan, who had mostly ethnic Armenian population at the time, confiscated from Azerbaijan with support from Armenia.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia reported on Thursday that the draft peace agreement with Azerbaijan was completed on his part.
“The peace agreement is ready for signing. The Republic of Armenia is ready to start consultation with the Republic of Azerbaijan on the day and the place of signing the agreement,” the Armenia Ministry statement said.
In his statement, the Azerbaijan Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: “We are pleased to note that the negotiations on the text of the Draft Agreement on Peace and the establishment of interstate relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia have been concluded.”
However, the time line for signing the agreement is uncertain because Azerbaijan said that a prerequisite for his signature is to change the Constitution of Armenia, which he says implies implicit claims in his territory.
Armenia denies such claims, but Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has repeatedly said in recent months that the founding document of the country should be replaced and asked for a referendum to do so. No date was determined.
The outbreak of hostilities in the late 1980s encouraged the mass expulsion of hundreds of thousands of mostly Muslim Azeris from Armenia and Armen, who are mostly Christian, from Azerbaijanj.
Peace negotiations began after Azerbaijan returned Karabah in September 2023, which encouraged almost all 100,000 armenian territories to escape to Armenia. Both sides said they wanted to sign a contract for the end of a long -term conflict, but the progress was slow and the relationships were tense.
The divided border of two countries (621 miles) is closed and strongly militarized.
In January, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev accused Armenia of representing a “fascist” threat to be destroyed, in the comments that the leader of Armenia called a possible attempt to justify fresh conflict.
