Armenia and Azerbaijan Endorse Trump for Nobel Peace Prize Following Historic Peace Agreement - Faith & Freedom News

WASHINGTON – In a landmark White House ceremony on Friday, the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan announced their commitment to ending decades of conflict, with both nations publicly endorsing President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his diplomatic efforts.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev joined Trump at the White House signing event, marking a significant breakthrough in one of the world’s most enduring regional disputes.

“Armenia and Azerbaijan have committed to a lasting peace after decades of conflict,” Trump declared during the ceremony, highlighting what he characterized as a major diplomatic achievement of his administration.

The endorsement for Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize nomination came directly from both leaders, who credited the President’s personal mediation efforts as instrumental in reaching the historic agreement. Trump has previously expressed interest in receiving the prestigious award.

The South Caucasus neighbors have been locked in territorial disputes and periodic military confrontations for over three decades, primarily centered around the Nagorno-Karabakh region. The conflict has resulted in thousands of casualties and displaced populations on both sides.

The peace deal represents a potential turning point for regional stability in the strategically important South Caucasus, which serves as a crucial energy transit corridor between Europe and Asia.

Details of the specific terms of the peace agreement were not immediately disclosed, though both leaders expressed optimism about the prospects for lasting reconciliation between their nations.

The White House ceremony underscores Trump’s focus on diplomatic achievements as he continues his presidency, with the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace deal joining other Middle Eastern diplomatic initiatives as signature foreign policy accomplishments.
