U.S. President Trump brokers truce between Armenia and Azerbaijan
The United States, under the mediation of then-President Donald Trump, played a significant role in facilitating a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The agreement, aimed at ending decades of conflict, includes a focus on economic cooperation and a transit corridor called the "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity" (TRIPP).
The peace treaty was signed at the White House, with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev present. The agreement is a significant step in the long history of conflict between the two nations.
The TRIPP corridor, a significant transit route in the South Caucasus, is a key component of the peace agreement. According to the terms, the USA will hold long-term and exclusive rights to this corridor. However, it's important to note that Trump stated he did not ask for the corridor to be named after him.
The peace treaty is part of a series of diplomatic agreements mediated by the White House. Notably, the White House also played a significant role in mediating the ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand at the end of last month. Trump threatened to break off trade talks with both countries if they continued to fight.
Germany has been actively supporting the peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan for some time. The country has provided humanitarian aid amounting to 27.5 million euros and civilian personnel to the southern Caucasus. However, no specific mention of Germany's reaction to the peace treaty was given in the provided information.
The dissolution of the Minsk Group of the OSCE is part of the peace treaty, although the role of the Minsk Group was not discussed in the provided paragraph. It's worth noting that German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul (CDU) praised the peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
In other news, the US President's main goal is to end the war in Ukraine by the end of the week, and a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin is scheduled for Friday. These developments further underscore the importance of diplomatic efforts in resolving international conflicts.
