The Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, expressed hope for signing a peace agreement with Azerbaijan in the coming months. He stated this at the international "Silk Road" forum in Tbilisi on October 26.
According to Pashinyan, Yerevan and Baku have reached an agreement to mutually recognize each other's territorial integrity based on the 1991 Almaty Declaration. Under this declaration, Armenia's territory is 29.8 thousand square kilometers, while Azerbaijan's is 86.6 thousand square kilometers, which includes the lands of Nagorno-Karabakh.
A week ago, the Armenian Prime Minister also announced that a "roadmap" for normalizing Armenian-Azerbaijani relations had been developed during his meetings with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, with the European Union's mediation.
On September 19, Azerbaijan initiated "counterterrorism measures" in Nagorno-Karabakh. The following day, the Karabakh authorities announced an agreement for a complete ceasefire. On September 28, the President of the unrecognized republic, Samvel Shahramanyan, signed a decree on its dissolution, effective from January 1, 2024, and the disbandment of all state institutions and organizations. Over 100,000 ethnic Armenians left Karabakh after the region came under full Azerbaijani control.
