On November 10, 2020, Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a peace agreement, bringing an end to the deadly conflict that had been raging in the Nagorno-Karabakh region for nearly six weeks. The conflict had left hundreds dead and had displaced thousands of people on both sides.
The peace agreement, brokered by Russia, includes several key provisions that will help to stabilize the region and prevent future conflict. Under the terms of the agreement, Armenia will withdraw its troops from Nagorno-Karabakh, while Azerbaijan will take control of several areas that were previously held by Armenian forces.
In addition, the agreement calls for the deployment of Russian peacekeeping troops to the region to monitor the ceasefire and ensure that both sides uphold their commitments. The peacekeepers will be stationed in the region for at least five years.
The peace agreement has been hailed as a significant step towards resolving the long-standing conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. However, it is important to note that the agreement is not without its critics. Some Armenians are concerned that the agreement could lead to further territorial losses, while some Azerbaijanis believe that the agreement does not go far enough in securing their country`s interests.
Despite these concerns, the peace agreement represents a significant achievement for all parties involved. It is hoped that the agreement will lead to a lasting peace in Nagorno-Karabakh and help to promote stability and prosperity in the region.
