" ___ both sides accept the areement ____ a lasting peace be established in this region." The answer is "Only if ; will "
my confusion is :
1. is the sentence correct?

Answer

"Only if both sides accept the agreement will a lasting peace be established in this region."

Yes, it's perfectly correct. It's a first conditional (accept... will be established), and the main clause has actually been made subordinate. The main point is about accepting the agreement.
