The trilateral ceasefire statement

DiplomaticTerritorial changeArmenia–Azerbaijan / Karabakh legacy

Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia sign a nine-point statement ending the war: Azerbaijani gains stand, the remaining districts are returned, a Russian peacekeeping contingent deploys along the Lachin corridor and the remnant Armenian-populated zone, and Article 9 promises unblocked transport links — including a connection between Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan across Armenia.

Why it mattersThe statement made Russia guarantor of what remained — a role it held for under four years — and its corridor clause, read differently in every capital, created the "Zangezur" question that now sits at the centre of regional diplomacy.
