Trump nears historic peace agreement between Azerbaijan, Armenia, says US senator
US President Donald Trump stands on the brink of finalizing a landmark peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia, Republican Senator Steve Daines said in his article for The Wall Street Journal.
Describing the anticipated accord as “an outstanding achievement,” Senator Daines emphasized its significance as a crucial step toward fostering regional and international stability, Caliber.Az reports.
He underscored that the agreement promises not only to bring peace to the South Caucasus but also to generate far-reaching economic benefits extending well beyond the immediate parties involved.
Daines highlighted that numerous prior attempts by third-party nations and international organizations to broker peace in the region had proven largely ineffective or short-sighted. He criticized previous US administrations for failing to prioritize the region and its peace efforts, suggesting that these missed opportunities contributed to prolonged tensions.
Contrasting this, the senator praised President Trump for actively promoting growth and stability in the South Caucasus and beyond, portraying his administration’s engagement as a transformative force in the peace process.
Looking ahead, Daines expressed optimism that the imminent signing of the peace deal by the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan will solidify a new era of peace and security—not only within the South Caucasus but across the broader international community.
