What are the two main sticking points preventing the finalization of the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace treaty, and what are the immediate implications of these disagreements?

Armenia and Azerbaijan have reached an agreement on 15 of the 17 articles of a draft peace treaty, but disagreements remain on two key issues: the withdrawal of third-party observers, specifically a European Union civilian mission, from the Armenian border and the withdrawal of mutual lawsuits from international courts. Prime Minister Pashinyan stated that Armenia proposed a compromise to apply the provision on observer withdrawal only to demarcated sections of the bilateral border.
