Armenia, Azerbaijan Re-Draw Borders In Peace Bid, Russia Withdraws Troops As Disillusionment Grows – News18

In a significant milestone Armenia has agreed to return several villages to Azerbaijan. This comes as both the countries move closer to a peace deal after fighting two wars since the Soviet Union’s collapse. Azerbaijan hailed the return of 4 villages by Armenia as a “long-awaited historic event.” However, the handover on the ground will involved only “two and a half villages” as Azerbaijan already partly controls the settlements involved. The Armenian government said that the move will reduce risks related to border security.
