Azerbaijan and Armenia are expected to sign a Joint Declaration between Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, during their Washington meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in attendance, signalling progress towards a final peace deal.
The declaration includes key elements that could pave the way for a comprehensive peace agreement.
One of the key points of the declaration confirms that Baku and Yerevan will jointly appeal to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Secretary General for the dissolution of the Minsk Group, a long-standing mediation format that Azerbaijan has sought to disband.
The document also acknowledges the need to ratify the Agreement on Interstate Relations and Peace between the two countries. That includes Armenia committing to constitutional amendments to eliminate territorial claims against Azerbaijan, one of Baku's core conditions.
Additionally, the declaration recognises the importance of guaranteeing land access between mainland Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan, effectively affirming the realisation of the so-called Zangezur Corridor.
President Aliyev has repeatedly called for this corridor since the end of the 2020 war, and its acceptance by Armenia would mark a significant diplomatic shift.
