The landmark deal was formalized on August 8 in Washington, where Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, and U.S. President Donald Trump signed a Joint Declaration during trilateral talks.

On the same day, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov and Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan initialed the draft Agreement on the Establishment of Peace and Interstate Relations between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Armenia.

The ministers also signed a joint appeal to the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office calling for the closure of the OSCE Minsk Process, the termination of the mandate of the OSCE Chair’s Personal Representative on the conflict, and the disbandment of the High-Level Planning Group.
