Armenia and Azerbaijan move closer to normalizing ties as the first border marker goes up
Ethnic Armenians from the Nagorno-Karabakh region sit next to their belongings near a tent camp after arriving in Goris, Armenia, in September. Armenia and Azerbaijan on Tuesday came a step closer toward normalizing relations after a bitter conflict over territory, as experts in both countries worked to demarcate their boundaries and the first border marker was placed. The two nations are working toward a peace treaty after Azerbaijan regained full control of the Nagorno-Karabakh region that had been under the control of ethnic Armenian forces since the 1990s and which Armenians called the Republic of Artsakh. A six-week war in 2020 resulted in Azerbaijan retaking large parts of the breakaway region, and in September, Azerbaijani forces launched a lightning blitz that forced Nagorno-Karabakh’s Armenian authorities to capitulate in negotiations mediated by Russian forces. Several days ago, Armenia and Azerbaijan reached an agreement over a stretch of border that would cut though four Armenian villages in the Tavush province, meaning that Armenia would cede some territory to Azerbaijan.
