Armenia and Azerbaijan Peace Deal Brokered at White House

President Trump has announced that Armenia and Azerbaijan are expected to sign a historic peace agreement at the White House, potentially ending decades of hostility.

Key Highlights

• The US will sign bilateral agreements to pursue economic opportunities in the South Caucasus region.
• The agreement aims to resolve long-standing disputes and reopen vital transport routes.
• A transit corridor, dubbed the "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity," is planned.

The Karabakh region has been a source of conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan for nearly forty years. Recent military action by Azerbaijan led to them reclaiming Karabakh, causing a mass exodus of ethnic Armenians to Armenia.

A Russian-brokered peace agreement had previously deployed peacekeepers in the region.
