Armenia and Azerbaijan Agree on Fundamental Principles for Peace Treaty

Russian news agency "TASS" reported today that Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated "Armenia and Azerbaijan have agreed on the fundamental principles of a peace treaty." Pashinyan mentioned that "there has been some progress in the discussions regarding the peace treaty," noting that the two countries still face difficulties in agreeing on certain issues. The countries have been in conflict for decades, primarily due to the separatist Nagorno-Karabakh region, which Azerbaijan regained control of in September, leading to the mass displacement of Armenian residents from the region.
