Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a landmark peace deal at the White House, formally ending decades of conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh region. The agreement, hosted by US President Donald Trump, includes a permanent cessation of hostilities, the reopening of critical transport links such as a new corridor between Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan, and commitments to expand trade, travel, and diplomatic relations. This US-brokered deal marks a significant geopolitical shift, reducing Russia’s role as the primary mediator in the Caucasus and positioning Washington as a key player in fostering stability and cooperation between the two historically antagonistic nations.
