Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a peace agreement at the White House, brokered by President Trump, establishing a transit route through Armenia connecting Azerbaijan to its exclave. This seemingly sudden breakthrough is the culmination of decades of diplomacy, U.S. military training, and shifting geopolitical dynamics. While Trump claimed credit, the agreement's success is attributed to sustained efforts across administrations, Azerbaijan's military victory in 2023, and weakened Russian and Iranian influence. The deal, though imperfect, is a significant step towards normalizing relations between the two countries.
