The text of the peace treaty between Azerbaijan and Armenia has been published

The Foreign Ministries of Armenia and Azerbaijan have published the text of the peace agreement initialed in Washington. It states that they will renounce the use of force and territorial claims against each other.

As "Caucasian Knot" reported, at a meeting in Washington on August 8, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed a declaration on the cessation of hostilities. The declaration stated that the parties will not make territorial claims against each other. Most of the seven points of the declaration contain vague wording, analysts pointed out.

The agreement on the establishment of peace and interstate relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia contains 17 articles.  

The text of the agreement assumes that Armenia and Azerbaijan will establish diplomatic relations, renounce the use of force and territorial claims against each other, and resolve the border issue. After the document comes into force, the parties plan to withdraw claims filed with international bodies before the signing of the agreement.

The parties refrain from interfering in each other's internal affairs, undertake not to deploy third-party forces along their common border, and jointly investigate cases of enforced disappearances and missing persons during the conflict. In addition, Azerbaijan and Armenia intend to develop economic, transport, environmental, humanitarian and cultural cooperation.

“The Parties will not undertake, encourage or in any way participate in any hostile actions against each other,” Article 15 says.

The text in English and the national languages, Azerbaijani and Armenian, respectively, was published today by the Foreign Ministries of both countries. The press releases of the agencies do not specify when the parties plan to sign the document.
