US EditionArmenian-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.
- Trump announced that Armenia and Azerbaijan have agreed to cease all hostilities indefinitely, but critics like Lenna Hovanessian argue that the deal compromises Armenia’s sovereignty and fails to guarantee displaced Armenians the right to return to their homes.
- 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.
