Armenia and Azerbaijan agree on draft peace agreement

Representatives of Armenia and Azerbaijan have concluded negotiations and agreed on the text of a peace agreement, the foreign ministries of both countries announced.

Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov stated that Armenia had accepted Azerbaijan’s proposals on the last two unresolved provisions of the agreement. “In the next stage, Baku’s expectation is that Armenia must amend its constitution, which still contains territorial claims against Azerbaijan,” Bayramov said on Thursday.

Yerevan, in turn, confirmed that it is ready to begin consultations with Baku on the timing and location of the document’s signing.

Armenia and Azerbaijan have been attempting to finalize a peace agreement since 2023, following an Azerbaijani military operation that brought Nagorno-Karabakh under Baku’s control, cleansing the area of most ethnic Armenians.

In February 2025, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that the parties had agreed on 15 out of 17 points of the peace deal. The remaining unresolved issues concerned the mutual abstention from lawsuits in international courts and the non-deployment of third-party forces along the border. At the time, he also noted that he saw no reason for an escalation of tensions between Yerevan and Baku.
