Report: The initialling of the August peace deal was a major step towards normalisation and regional security

The initialling of the August peace deal was a major step towards normalisation and regional security. This was stated in NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's report for 2025.

"The South Caucasus is important for NATO’s security,
especially as the region continues to feel the impact of
Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. In 2025,
NATO welcomed meaningful progress towards peace
between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and acknowledged the
United States’ continued investment in the peace process.
The initialling of the August peace deal was a major step
towards normalisation and regional security, and NATO
stands ready to deepen dialogue and cooperation with
both countries." the document reads.
