US Brokers Armenia-Azerbaijan Peace Ending 35-Year Conflict

President Trump has played a pivotal role in brokering a historic peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, formally ending decades of conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region. The agreement, which includes mutual recognition of national borders, reopening vital transportation corridors, and enhanced regional cooperation, is being hailed as a significant step toward lasting peace and stability in the South Caucasus. A major transit corridor connecting Azerbaijan and its Nakhchivan exclave will be named the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity, marking a geopolitical shift that diminishes Russia's influence in the region. US Congressman Gus Bilirakis, co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues, commended the deal as a critical achievement brokered under President Trump's leadership. This peace summit hosted by Trump at the White House underscores his administration's broader diplomatic efforts, which also include ceasefires and peace agreements involving other regional conflicts. Coverage from major news outlets highlights the importance of this diplomatic breakthrough in ending one of the longest-running conflicts in the post-Soviet space.
