The two-month-old war between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has come to an end and a peace agreement has been reached between the two countries with the help of Russia. Azerbaijan's president has called the ceasefire agreement a victory for his country.
The peace deal on the internationally recognized Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan is being hailed as a victory for Azerbaijan.
The agreement was signed by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pishyan and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
After the agreement, the President of Azerbaijan declared the victory of his country. The implementation of the agreement has also started.
With the announcement of President Ilham Aliyev's victory, the Azerbaijani nation took to the streets. The President of Azerbaijan claimed that today is a historic day, now the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has come to an end.
"I congratulate the nation on the glorious victory, now Karabakh is Azerbaijan and it is a symbol of our victory."
On the other hand, Armenian Prime Minister Nicole Pishnian conceded defeat and said that the agreement was reached due to depletion of military resources and this agreement is also painful for me.
He said that the peace agreement was signed on the advice of the army, due to the depletion of military resources and the lack of fresh troops.
The Armenian prime minister added that the soldiers had been fighting for weeks, who needed rest, and that if they had not agreed, we would have had more serious consequences.
According to the agreement, the areas liberated from Armenian occupation will remain with Azerbaijan and the Armenian army will withdraw from other surrounding areas as well.
Under the agreement, Azerbaijan will retain control of the recently liberated Armenian-occupied Shusha region, which is a very important defensive area.
There have been conflicting reports of casualties in the weeks-long war between Azerbaijan and Armenia, but Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed that more than 5,000 people have been killed in the two countries' war.
After the announcement of victory by the President of Azerbaijan, citizens took to the streets across the country and danced regionally. The victory celebrations continued throughout the night. Victory rallies were held in various places in the capital Baku, including young, children and the elderly.
In Armenia, the people are outraged after the peace agreement with Azerbaijan and the people took to the streets only 20 minutes after the announcement of the Prime Minister.
In the capital, Yerevan, citizens protested against the agreement and stormed government buildings and parliament in Republic Square, storming parliament and demanding the immediate resignation of members, while angry protesters stormed parliament and other government buildings.
