Armenia and Azerbaijan published the text of a peace agreement mediated by the United States on Monday, committing themselves to respecting mutual territorial integrity and formally putting the end at almost four decades of conflict.
The agreement was closed in Washington last Friday, when the president of Azerbaijan Aliyev and the Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan met the president of the United States Donald Trump at the White House.
The text of the agreement, published by the ministries of foreign affairs of both countries, states that Yerevan and Baku will resign all the requests of the mutual territory, refrain from the use of mutual strength and will undertake to respect international law.
“This agreement is a solid base to establish reliable and lasting peace, the result of an agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan who reflects the balanced interests of both countries,” wrote Passyan on Facebook.
Armenia and Azerbaijan, close in the southern region of the Caucasus, are in conflict since the late 1980s due to Nagorno-Karabakh, a mountainous region at the southern end of the Karabakh mountain range in Azerbaijan. Baku resumed total control of the region by 2023, causing almost all 100,000 ethnic Armenians from the territory to escape in Armenia.
Since then, both sides have said they wanted peace, but the negotiations are largely stagnated until this month.
At the meeting of the White House on Friday, the United States obtained exclusive rights to develop a strategic traffic corridor through the southern Caucasus which, according to the Trump government, will increase bilateral economic ties and will allow greater energy exports.
