On Thursday, the parties announced the achievement of a "peace agreement" aimed at normalizing relations and expressed readiness to sign a comprehensive peace treaty. Moscow - AFP reported successful peace talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan on Friday, the day after the announcement by the countries of the achievement of peace. In the statement, Russia's Foreign Ministry representative Maria Zakharova said: "We welcome the completion of the negotiations." Baku and Yerevan have both been involved in the war for control over Nagorno-Karabakh, an Azerbaijani region predominantly populated by Armenians. For the first time since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Armenia secured victory, while in 2020 Azerbaijan, before Baku captured the whole region, took it over in a 24-hour offensive operation in September 2023.
