On August 8, 2025, US President Donald Trump brokered a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, formally signed by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev at the White House. The agreement aims to end 35 years of conflict, including disputes over the Nagorno-Karabakh region, by recognizing the Soviet-era borders as the official boundaries of both countries. Key provisions include mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, a ban on the use of force, prohibition of foreign troops on the border, non-interference in internal affairs, and cooperation on issues such as missing persons, border demarcation, trade, transit, environment, and energy. The deal also establishes a US-controlled corridor, the Zangezur Corridor, linking Azerbaijan to its exclave Nakhchivan, shifting regional influence from Moscow to Washington. The peace treaty has received recognition and praise from the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres and the United Arab Emirates leadership, with calls for it to foster long-term regional stability and prosperity. Azerbaijani President Aliyev proposed nominating President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in acknowledgment of his mediation efforts. The Kremlin confirmed ongoing dialogue with Armenia’s leadership, with Russian President Vladimir Putin discussing the peace process and reaffirming Russia's readiness to assist under existing trilateral accords. The agreement consists of 17 articles and is drafted in Armenian, Azerbaijani, and English, with the English text prevailing in interpretation. While the deal marks a major diplomatic milestone, analysts note that further work remains to fully resolve the conflict and ensure lasting peace in the South Caucasus region.
