Armenia e Azerbaigian concordano sul trattato di pace storico

After that political mess caused by Trump we all got thrown into, it‘s nice to atleast see some positive news

Finally, some good news. I hope peace in the Caucasus will quickly follow the EU enlargement. I would like to see all three Caucasus countries in the EU, as well as Turkey.

Good news, in 2025 AD?

I’ll take it

Well, let’s not forget that Azerbaijan (a muslim country) committed genocide against the Armenians (the oldest Christian ethnic group). After Azerbaijan starting an invasion and occupying Karabakh (the saint land of Armenians) Azerbaijan is “gracefully” ready for peace talk? How convenient…. F**king deceitful, disingenuous, double-faced despots…

But as long as Armenians are fine with this, I’m happy for them.

Says nothing about the actual terms of the agreement. Ok Armenia is giving up some claims but the main worry is that Azerbaijan will try and create and land bridge to its exclave and the resolution to this is not mentioned in the article. Have they found a solution to this or is this still a risk for Armenia? If this one remains unresolved, then nothing meaningful has been achieved, which would be very typical of this decade.

It is good for parties and the region; I am saying it as a Turkish citizen. Let’s open the land borders between all three countries and everybody will get benefit from it. Armenia will have access to new ports (Trabzon, Mersin) instead using Georgia and nearly all trucks will use Armenia as a transit point between Azerbaijan and Turkey. Turkish goods would be directly reach Armenia and with a cheaper price. Armenia has the advantage of beiing in the crossroads of Iran, Georgia, Turkey and Azerbaijan. I hope all parties behave responsibly.

I mean the peace treaty will happen because Armenia lost, its that simple, just take a look

>After Armenia accepted the two remaining elements of a peace deal from Azerbaijan, the latter laid out several formal requirements that Armenia must complete before the deal can be signed. 

>“As the next step, Azerbaijan expects that Armenia will amend its Constitution and … eliminate claims against the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of Azerbaijan,” said Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov.

>Bayramov added that in order to seal the deal, Armenia must also dissolve the Minsk Group, a 1992 format created under the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe and co-headed by the U.S., Russia and France to resolve a conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh border region between the two countries.

This is just a surrender, similar to the treaties of Paris of 1947, Armenia is just accepting Azerbaijan demands without any fightback

**An agreement is ready to be signed, but Azerbaijan has a few last requirements.**

Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to the terms of a long-awaited peace treaty Thursday that could end a decades-long conflict that began with the fall of the Soviet Union.

After Armenia accepted the two remaining elements of a peace deal from Azerbaijan, the latter laid out several formal requirements that Armenia must complete before the deal can be signed. 

“As the next step, Azerbaijan expects that Armenia will amend its Constitution and … eliminate claims against the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of Azerbaijan,” said Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov.

Bayramov added that in order to seal the deal, Armenia must also dissolve the Minsk Group, a 1992 format created under the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe and co-headed by the U.S., Russia and France to resolve a conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh border region between the two countries.

Meeting these demands could take some time, given that amending the constitution requires that a referendum be held. The Armenian PM called for a referendum on a new constitution in February.

Still, observers hailed the agreement as representing significant progress toward peace.

“This is an unprecedented breakthrough in what was deadlocked diplomacy,” said Richard Giragosian, director of the Regional Studies Center, an independent think tank based in Armenia.

Given how long it will take to meet Azerbaijan’s final demands, they should not be prerequisites for signing the peace treaty but rather a matter for further discussion, Giragosian added. “Both sides [should] sign the peace treaty and continue talks,” he said, though noted that skepticism remained a barrier.

“There is a degree of wariness in Armenia that this may be too good to be true. There are expectations that Azerbaijan may actually continue to demand more concessions.”

The two countries have yet to negotiate when and where the peace deal will be signed. Armenia proposed issuing a joint statement following the agreement of terms but Baku declined, Armenia’s Foreign Ministry said.

Armenia and Azerbaijan have fought a series of conflicts in recent years, with an Azerbaijani offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh last September forcing the region’s 100,000 residents to flee.

Congratulations both, sometimes war is needed to end a decades long conflict.

So nothing is done nor ready to be signed yet.

Does this mean Azerbaijan will drop its talks about “West-Azerbaijan” when they talk about Syunik?
