In March 2025, Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a peace treaty that officially ended decades of conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
The agreement was aimed at resolving long-standing territorial disputes and promoting lasting stability in the region, which had been the subject of extensive international mediation efforts.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is one of the longest-running disputes in the post-Soviet space, beginning in the late 20th century when both Armenia and Azerbaijan claimed the region.
Earlier attempts to bring peace included the 2020 ceasefire agreement brokered by Russia, which temporarily stopped fighting but did not resolve the core issues.
The 2025 treaty marked a major diplomatic breakthrough, with both countries agreeing on border recognition and expanding economic cooperation.
