Aliyev, Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia N.V. Pashinyan and President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin, state the following: #A complete ceasefire and end to all hostilities in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict from 00:00 Moscow time on 10 November 2020. The Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Armenia, hereinafter referred to as the parties stop at the current territorial positions they occupy. #[[Agdam District]] returns to the Republic of Azerbaijan by 20 November 2020. #Along the frontline in Nagorno-Karabakh and along the [[Lachin corridor]] there will be a peacekeeping contingent of the Russian Federation with 1960 military personnel with small arms, 90 armoured personnel carriers, 380 military vehicles and other special equipment. #The peacekeeping contingent of the Russian Federation is deployed in parallel with the withdrawal of the Armenian armed forces from Nagorno-Karabakh. The duration of the peacekeeping contingent of the Russian Federation is 5{{nbs}}years with automatic renewal for the next 5-year period if none of the parties state otherwise 6{{nbs}}months in advance. #In order to improve the effectiveness of control over the implementation by the Parties to the conflict agreements, a peacekeeping command post is being installed in order to enforce the ceasefire. #The Republic of Armenia will return to Azerbaijan the [[Kalbajar District]] by 15 of November 2020, later extended to 25 November, and the [[Lachin District]] by 1 December. The [[Lachin corridor]] ({{cvt|5|km|mi|sigfig=2}} wide) which will provide access from Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia remains under the control of the peacekeeping contingent of the Russian Federation. The town of [[Shusha]] located within the corridor will remain in Azeri possession. By agreement of the Parties, a construction plan will be determined in the next three years for a new route of movement along the Lachin corridor, providing a link between Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia with the subsequent redeployment of the Russian peacekeeping contingent to guard this route. The Republic of Azerbaijan guarantees the safety of traffic along the Lachin corridor of citizens, vehicles, and goods in both directions. #Internally displaced persons and refugees return to the territories of Nagorno-Karabakh and adjacent areas under the control of the [[UN Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees]]. #The exchange of prisoners of war, hostages and other detainees is to be made, as well as the remains of casualties. #All economic activity and transport links in the region are to be unrestricted. The Republic of Armenia guarantees the safety of transport links between western regions of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the [[Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic]] in order to organise the unimpeded movement of citizens, vehicles and cargo in both directions. Transport control is carried out by the bodies of the Border Service of the [[Federal Security Service|FSB]] of Russia. By agreement of the Parties, the construction of new infrastructure linking the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic with regions of Azerbaijan is to take place.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://kremlin.ru/events/president/news/64384|title=Заявление Президента Азербайджанской Республики, Премьер-министра Республики Армения и Президента Российской Федерации|website=Президент России}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://t.me/rian_ru/64417|title=РИА Новости|website=Telegram}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/09/world/middleeast/armenia-settlement-nagorno-karabakh-azerbaijan.html|title=Facing Military Debacle, Armenia Accepts a Deal in Nagorno-Karabakh War|first=Andrew E.|last=Kramer|date=November 10, 2020|via=NYTimes.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dailysabah.com/politics/euphoric-azerbaijanis-celebrate-victorious-nagorno-karabakh-peace-deal/news|title=Euphoric Azerbaijanis celebrate 'victorious' Nagorno-Karabakh peace deal|first=Anadolu|last=Agency|date=November 10, 2020|website=Daily Sabah}}</ref> ==Reaction== ===Armenia=== [[File:2020 Armenia protest.png|thumb|256x256px|[[2020 Armenian protests|Protests in Yerevan]] after the peace agreement]] After signing the agreement, [[Prime Minister of Armenia]] [[Nikol Pashinyan]] said, "This is not a victory, but there is not defeat until you consider yourself defeated, we will never consider ourselves defeated and this shall become a new start of an era of our national unity and rebirth."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/11/9/armenia-pm-says-signed-painful-deal-to-end-nagorno-karabakh-war|title=Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia sign deal to end Nagorno-Karabakh war|website=www.aljazeera.com}}</ref> [[2020 Armenian protests|Violent protests]] erupted in [[Yerevan]] following the announcement of the ceasefire agreement.
