Nagorno-Karabakh: Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia sign peace agreement

On the night of 9-10 November, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia signed a joint peace agreement ending the conflict starting at midnight Moscow time on 10 November.

The peace agreement was signed via video conference. Pashinyan was not present at the video conference, for which Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev ridiculed him in his remarks following the signature.

As a result of the end of hostilities, control of further territories will be given back to Azerbaijan by Armenia. Meanwhile, Russian peacemakers would be – and are currently being – deployed to the region.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced the decision on Facebook, calling it a “very hard decision”. In Yerevan, masses rushed to the streets in protest.
