Azerbaijani, Armenian leaders' meeting in Washington Caliber.Az shares exclusive insights

According to reliable sources known to Caliber.Az, an event of significant political and historical importance will soon take place in Washington — the initialling of the text of a peace agreement between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Armenia. This step means that the parties have reached a consensus on all points of the draft agreement and will officially record their approval of its content.

Initialling is an important diplomatic procedure which, although not equivalent to the final signing of the agreement, nonetheless confirms the completion of the text negotiation stage. From the perspective of international practice, it indicates the parties’ readiness to move toward concluding a full and legally binding peace treaty.

At the same time, the actual signing of the peace treaty may take place only after a nationwide referendum on constitutional amendments is held in Armenia in 2026.
