The 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh Ceasefire Agreement is a ceasefire agreement that ended the Nagorno-Karabakh war in 2020. It was signed on November 9 by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Russian President Vladimir Putin and ended all hostilities in the Nagorno-Karabakh region from 00:00 on November 10, 2020, Moscow time. [1] [2] The President of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh, Arayik Harutyunyan, also agreed to an end to hostilities. [3] The message was the first hint of a deal, with Pashinyan saying the deal would go into effect on Tuesday at 1 a.m. on .m (21.m 00 GMT Monday) to end a conflict that has claimed the lives of at least 1,000 people. “It was a very positive meeting, we discussed practically all the topics on the agenda. We have clarified our positions on many issues. It turns out that we have no disagreement on a variety of issues. When it comes to opening up transport and commercial communications in the region, we have found that we have a common understanding of how this communication will work,” he said. Armenia signs an “extremely painful” war agreement with Azerbaijan and Russia: the Armenian prime minister will sign an agreement with Azerbaijan that could resolve many current differences between the two sides, but given the loss of confidence in the government, many Armenians are demanding that the terms of the agreement be made public. Hours before the signing of the agreement, Azerbaijan apologized to Moscow and offered compensation after admitting to accidentally shooting down a Russian helicopter.
Two crew members died in the incident and a third was injured. Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia on Tuesday signed an agreement to end six weeks of fierce fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh in a deal that Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan described as “unspeakably painful” in a moving Facebook post. According to the agreement, the two warring parties undertook to exchange prisoners of war and the dead. In addition, the Armenian armed forces were to withdraw from the Armenian-occupied areas around Nagorno-Karabakh by December 1. A Russian peacekeeping force of about 2,000 Russian ground troops was to be sent to the region for at least five years, one of its tasks being to protect the Lachin Corridor, which connects Armenia and the Nagorno-Karabakh region. In addition, Armenia pledged to ensure the “security” of the passage between the Azerbaijani mainland and its enclave of Nakhchivan via a strip of land in the Armenian province of Syunik. Russian FSB border troops would exercise control over transport communications.

The deal came hours after Armenian officials in the disputed region confirmed that the key town of Shusha (known in Armenia as Shushi), the enclave`s second largest city, had been captured by Azerbaijani forces. Azerbaijan also said on Monday that it had taken dozens of other settlements. Armenians administer the disputed region, which is located within the borders of Azerbaijan. Several previous ceasefire agreements have failed and both sides have accused each other of airstrikes on civilian targets.
Following the signing of the agreement and the deployment of Russian peacekeepers, the defense ministers of Russia and Turkey signed a memorandum on the establishment of a joint Russian-Turkish observation center in Azerbaijan. [44] However, Russia insisted that Turkey`s involvement would be limited to operating on Azerbaijani soil from the observation center and that Turkish peacekeepers would not travel to Nagorno-Karabakh. [44] [45] On May 20, interim Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan confirmed the authenticity of a document that had been circulating online since the previous evening. He called it a “provisional agreement” that was “100% in line with Armenia`s national interests. If Azerbaijan implements the agreements [set out in the document], then I will sign the document,” he told a government meeting. The two sides were reportedly willing to sign new agreements on November 9, the first anniversary of the signing of the ceasefire, but Pashinyan withdrew. Al Jazeera`s Osama bin Javaid reported from Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, and said news of the deal had brought people to the streets to celebrate despite a curfew. The agreement includes Armenia`s return from some areas on the outskirts of the Nagorno-Karabakh region, while Azerbaijan will stop its push towards Stepanakert, he added. In Azerbaijan, Aliyev said the deal was “historic” and armenia was forced to negotiate because of Azerbaijan`s military successes. There was no confirmation from Azerbaijan on the draft treaty, but a number of pro-government media reported Pashinyan`s statement. The new ceasefire agreement sparked anger in Armenia as protesters stormed parliament, beat the president and reportedly ransacked the prime minister`s office. The agreement (“Statement by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia and the President of the Russian Federation”) states: “Before the meeting, there was much speculation that the three would sign additional agreements, especially one on the formal demarcation and demarcation of the borders between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
and another on the opening of new transport routes between the two countries, in particular a road through Armenia that connects the Azerbaijani mainland to its enclave of Nakhchivan. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said he signed an agreement with the leaders of Russia and Azerbaijan on Tuesday to end the war. The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan met for the first time in nearly a year, and the second time since they fought a war last year. Although they have not signed long-awaited agreements to ease the ongoing tensions between the two countries, they have officially promised to form a bilateral commission to demarcate and demarcate their mutual border. Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia are reportedly about to sign a new agreement on the demarcation and demarcation of borders and the opening of transport links. .
