Azerbaijan and Armenia’s foreign ministries have, for the first time, published the text of the peace agreement signed between the two countries.
According to the document, the agreement consists of 17 articles. Under its terms, Armenia and Azerbaijan renounce territorial claims against each other and pledge not to use force in their relations. The treaty also prohibits the deployment of third-party forces along their shared border, with border delimitation to be carried out under a separate arrangement.
Once the agreement takes effect, both countries will withdraw lawsuits filed against each other in international courts and will set up a joint commission to oversee its implementation.
On Friday, August 8, in Washington, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed a framework agreement on establishing a transport corridor linking Azerbaijan with its Nakhchivan exclave. The United States, which brokered the deal, will have the right to develop the corridor between Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan. The absence of such a route had been a major obstacle to concluding the peace agreement.
