Trump recalls role in settling Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict at Davos forum

US President Donald Trump has once again recalled his role in resolving the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia during a special address to the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Speaking to the audience, Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin had called him to express surprise at the outcome, Caliber.Az reports. 

“He [Putin] said, 'I can't believe you settled that one. They were going on for 35 years.' I settled it in one day. Then President Putin called me. He said, 'You know, I can't believe I've worked on that war for 10 years trying to settle it. I couldn't do it,'" Trump said. 

A reminder that on August 8, 2025, a joint declaration was signed in Washington at a summit hosted by US President Donald Trump, attended by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

The document set out a seven-point framework reaffirming sovereignty, territorial integrity and the renunciation of force. Foreign ministers from both countries also initialled a draft Agreement on the Establishment of Peace and Inter-State Relations, witnessed by Trump, Aliyev and Pashinyan.
