Former Soviet Azerbaijan and Armenia have announced that they have agreed to create a framework for border demarcation by the end of the year over the long-standing conflict of Nagorno-Karabakh.
However, it is unclear whether the borders will actually be demarcated and the situation in the region will stabilize.
Nagorno-Karabakh has become a cause of regional instability, as Azerbaijan and neighboring Armenia claim to belong to each other, and after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, it often develops into fierce armed conflict.
Under these circumstances, a summit meeting was held in Sochi, southern Russia, on the 26th, mediated by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has an influence on both countries.
After the meeting, President Putin announced that the three parties had agreed to create a framework for demarcating the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia by the end of the year.
In addition, Azerbaijan's President Aliev and Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan positively evaluated the meeting, but did not specifically mention the attribution of Nagorno-Karabakh, and it is clear how to proceed with the talks. Not.
Even after the ceasefire agreement was reached in November last year, an armed clash occurred on the 16th of this month, causing casualties to both sides. It's opaque.
