Armenia, Azerbaijan published peace agreement

Armenia and Azerbaijan have published their peace agreement after months of negotiations. The 17-point accord recognizes each nation's sovereignty and territorial integrity within existing borders. The agreement, signed by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, outlines peaceful coexistence and the resumption of diplomatic relations. It also includes provisions for cooperation on missing persons and the withdrawal of legal claims. This development follows decades of conflict, primarily over the Nagorno-Karabakh region. Azerbaijan regained control of Nagorno-Karabakh in 2023, leading to the displacement of over 100,000 ethnic Armenians.
