Next Steps for Armenia-Azerbaijan Peace

Next Steps for Armenia-Azerbaijan Peace

History was made at the White House on August 8, 2025, when President Donald Trump hosted Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev for a landmark meeting.

Against all odds! the two leaders from the Caucasus signed a joint declaration committing to a final peace treaty that will normalize relations between their countries.

Their foreign ministers also initialed a draft version of that treaty, which the countries plan on fully ratifying within the next 12 months.

Diplomats brokered this breakthrough not in Moscow, Paris, or Brussels—but in Washington.

For decades, the South Caucasus has been a flashpoint for regional competition, unresolved wars, and missed diplomatic opportunities.

Now, with US reengagement, real peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan may finally be within reach.
