| Armenia says it’s ready to sign peace agreement with Azerbaijan |
| 2025-03-14 |
| [IsraelTimes] Armenia’s foreign ministry says that a draft peace agreement with Azerbaijan has been finalized from its side and that it is ready to discuss a date and location to sign a final deal. Armenia and Azerbaijan have fought a series of wars since the late 1980s, when Nagorno-Karabakh, a region in Azerbaijan that had a mostly Armenian population at the time, broke away from Baku with Yerevan’s support. In September 2023, Azerbaijan retook Karabakh by force, prompting almost all of the territory’s 100,000 Armenians to flee to Armenia. Both sides have long said they want to sign a treaty to end the long-running conflict but have wrangled for years over the details of what it might look like. “The peace agreement is ready for signing. The Republic of Armenia is ready to start consultations with the Republic of Azerbaijan on the date and place of signing the agreement,” Armenia’s Foreign Ministry says in a statement. |
