US president Donald Trump has said that Armenia and Azerbaijan will today sign a peace agreement.
"President Aliyev and Prime Minister Pashinyan will join me at the White House for the official signing ceremony of the peace agreement," Trump wrote on the Truth Social social network.
The US president said he was looking forward to hosting Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan at the White House. "These two nations have been at war for a long time, resulting in the deaths of thousands of people. Many leaders have tried to end the war, but to no avail," he said.
He said the US administration has been engaging with both sides for “quite a long time.” Trump added that the United States would sign bilateral agreements with both countries for joint economic development “so that we can fully realize the potential of the South Caucasus.”
"I am proud of these courageous leaders who are doing the right thing for the great nations of Armenia and Azerbaijan. This will be a historic day for Armenia, Azerbaijan, the United States, and the ENTIRE WORLD," Trump said.
