Pashinyan and Aliyev Agree on One-Sided Land Swap
Reading
The Prime Minister of Armenia spoke about a deal. He made an agreement with the President of Azerbaijan. They will exchange land, but only Armenia will give land.
Azerbaijan will give promises to Armenia, but not land. These promises are about how people will be treated. The promises are for people in old Azerbaijani lands.
At first, they wanted to exchange land equally. But Azerbaijan did not want to give any land. So, Armenia's leader had to change the plan.
The new plan is for Armenia to give land. Azerbaijan will give only promises in return. These promises were going to be written down at first.
But Turkey got involved, so the plan changed again. The promises will now be spoken, not written. The Prime Minister thinks the spoken promises are very important.
