00:00
Azerbaijan's president is hailing it as a victory for his country.
00:05
In a televised address, Ilham Aliyev said his nation had restored its sovereignty by
00:10
getting Armenian separatists in Nagorno-Karabakh to put down their arms following what Azerbaijan
00:15
called its anti-terrorist operation.
00:18
His welcoming of the ceasefire came with backhanded praise for Armenia.
00:24
"Yesterday, today, Armenia's leadership surprisingly demonstrated unexpected political competence.
00:39
We appreciate this and consider it an important factor."
00:45
But Armenia says it had no part in the truce negotiations.
00:49
The prime minister accused Azerbaijan of launching the operation as a pretext.
00:55
"The fact that the name of the Republic of Armenia was cited in a text that has no direct
01:01
connection with it is meant as further justification for the approach of yesterday's attacks.
01:06
The aim was solely to pull the Republic of Armenia towards military operation."
01:13
This week's violence is just the latest in years of tensions over the region.
01:17
A flare-up of hostilities between Armenia and Azerbaijan in 2020 left almost 7,000 people
01:23
dead.
01:24
Russia has been the peacekeeper in the region since then.
01:27
As Russian President Vladimir Putin welcomed the ceasefire, Armenia urged Moscow to ensure
01:32
that ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh would be protected and would be able to remain
01:37
there.
01:38
After the truce, the next step is reintegration talks, potentially bringing the disputed region
01:43
fully under Azerbaijani control.
