Local media reports that, according to TASS, the leaders committed to a permanent cessation of hostilities, the establishment of trade, travel, and diplomatic ties, and mutual respect for each other's sovereignty.

During the talks, they initialled the peace treaty text and approved a roadmap that includes creating a transport corridor linking Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave via Armenian territory. They also agreed to urge the OSCE to dissolve the Minsk Group.

Trump announced the lifting of restrictions on military cooperation with Azerbaijan and the signing of bilateral economic agreements with both Azerbaijan and Armenia. Both Aliyev and Pashinyan expressed their willingness to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Interfax quoted President Aliyev describing August 8 as a historic day for Azerbaijan-Armenia relations and calling for the swift official signing of the peace treaty.

Vestnik Kavkaza noted that the leaders have formally documented their intent to resolve differences peacefully. The joint declaration outlines commitments to renounce armed conflict, unblock transport routes, establish diplomatic relations, and respect territorial integrity.

Vechernyaya Moskva emphasised that the signed agreements symbolise the achievement of peace, with Trump calling the event historic.
