Armenian-Americans in SoCal Express Hesitancy over Armenian-Azerbaijan Peace Deal Announced by Trump
THE WHITE HOUSE, UNITED STATES, AUG 9 – The transit corridor, named the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity, aims to enhance connectivity despite decades-long conflict over the Karabakh region, officials said.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump welcomed the Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders to the White House, where they finalized a U.S.-facilitated peace deal aimed at resolving a long-standing conflict.
- The longstanding enmity stemmed from territorial disputes over Nagorno-Karabakh, with Azerbaijan having moved in 2023 and Russia unable to intervene due to its war in Ukraine, creating space for U.S. mediation.
- The agreement establishes a 43.5-kilometer transit corridor across Armenian land to connect Azerbaijan with its Nakhchivan exclave, seeks to restore regional transportation links, and will be developed under U.S. supervision with a name reflecting its role in promoting peace and prosperity.

- The deal signifies renewed American influence in the South Caucasus, marking a potential path toward regional economic integration, though trust issues and the agreement's limitations suggest a cautious outlook for lasting peace.
