President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has characterized the recent peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia, signed at the White House on August 8, as a landmark achievement in regional diplomacy, underscoring its significance in resolving a protracted conflict, according to a statement by Ruslan Zheldibay, Presidential Advisor and Press Secretary, posted on his official Telegram channel.
The joint declaration, endorsed by the heads of state of Armenia and Azerbaijan, formally terminates years of military hostilities and establishes a framework for the normalization of bilateral relations, including the restoration of diplomatic ties and the advancement of multifaceted cooperation grounded in lasting peace and stability.
