WASHINGTON, DC — On August 8, 2025, President Donald Trump hosted a landmark peace summit at the White House, where Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev signed a U.S.-brokered agreement, ending over 35 years of conflict.
The deal, centered on the "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity," establishes a transit corridor connecting Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave through Armenian territory, fostering trade and energy cooperation.
The agreement, signed in the State Dining Room, commits both nations to cease hostilities, open diplomatic relations, and respect mutual sovereignty. It also includes U.S. development rights for the corridor, with nine companies already expressing interest.
Both leaders praised Trump’s mediation, with Aliyev calling it a “miracle” and Pashinyan labeling it a “significant milestone.” They jointly proposed nominating Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Additional U.S. agreements with both nations bolster energy, technology, and defense ties, promising economic growth and stability in the region.
