Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has informed Russian President Vladimir Putin about the finalized draft of a peace agreement with Azerbaijan, marking a significant step towards ending decades of conflict. The agreement consists of 17 articles, with Armenia accepting Azerbaijan's proposals on two previously unresolved issues, and both countries recognizing each other's territorial integrity. The Armenian Foreign Ministry announced that the peace agreement is now ready for signing, with Armenia open to discussions on the timing and venue. Pashinyan emphasized efforts to obscure peace prospects but asserted that significant foundational steps have been made. Additionally, Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the completion of negotiations on the peace treaty text. This development is viewed as a breakthrough in the often tumultuous peace process between the two nations.
