Historic Peace Deal Signed Between Armenia and Azerbaijan After Decades of Conflict

In a moment hailed by world leaders as a milestone for regional stability, Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a comprehensive peace agreement on Saturday, officially ending over three decades of conflict in the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

The peace deal, brokered by the European Union and supported by the United Nations, was signed at the EU headquarters in Brussels by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.

Key points of the agreement include:

• A mutual recognition of sovereignty and territorial integrity

• The establishment of joint economic zones and trade routes

• Safe return of displaced citizens under UN supervision

• Deployment of international peacekeeping observers

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who oversaw the final negotiation, said:

“This peace deal proves that diplomacy still has the power to heal wounds and build bridges.”

The international community, including the United States, Russia, Turkey, and China, welcomed the development, offering both financial and logistical support to ensure smooth implementation.

The peace accord is seen as a potential model for resolving other long-standing territorial disputes around the world.
