Declaration of peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan reaffirmed that  President Trump president of peace - U.S. Department of State 

ArmInfo.  The declaration of peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan has reaffirmed that President Trump is indeed the president of peace. Last week, he hosted the  leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan at the White House, where they  signed a historic joint declaration for peace after decades of bitter  conflict and too many lives lost - a landmark achievement for  international diplomacy and an end to violence that only President  Trump could deliver. The two leaders also signed bilateral economic  agreements with the United States, unlocking the great potential of  the South Caucasus region in trade, transit, energy, infrastructure,  and technology; and creating new opportunities for the American  people and American businesses, Tammy Bruce, Spokesperson for the  U.S. Department of State, told a briefing. 

In response to a question as to what United States will do if Russia  or Iran try to block or sabotage this new peace route, she said: 

"The world knows to take President Trump seriously. This arrangement,  this deal, is important to him. They were at the White House. This  matters to this administration. It matters to the world. I can say  that as some people may not even know because it doesn't get  coverage, these two neighbors have been in conflict for decades. I  think it's over 35 years now, with countless lives lost and  generations scarred.

"While many have tried - we have to say the Europeans, the French,  and Putin and even Biden - only President Trump was able to  successfully bring this to - these two countries together to agree to  this historic peace. So I think what the world knows is that he is  committed to longstanding, durable peace between countries regardless  of how long the conflicts have lasted or the hostility has lasted.  And that commitment, as we've also seen - he's a realist, it's based  in diplomacy, but he'll do what he needs to do to make the most of  being the President of the United States and stopping the wars."

On August 8, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani  President Ilham Aliyev signed a joint "peace declaration" in  Washington. It provides for a joint appeal to the Organization for  Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to terminate the OSCE Minsk  process and related structures, as well as the creation of a  transport corridor through Armenian territory that will connect  Azerbaijan with its Nakhchivan exclave. The TRIPP (Trump Route for  International Peace and Prosperity) project, a 42-km road in southern  Armenia that will hand over control of the road to the United States  for 99 years, according to experts, is capable of significantly  changing the geopolitical situation in the South Caucasus.  On the  same day, the Foreign Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan initialed a  peace agreement, which consists of 17 articles. The preamble of the  document states that the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of  Azerbaijan, recognizing the urgent need to establish a just,  comprehensive and lasting peace in the region, striving to promote  the achievement of this goal through the establishment of interstate  relations, guided by the Charter of the United Nations, the  Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning Friendly  Relations and Cooperation among States in accordance with the Charter  of the United Nations (1970), the Final Act of the Helsinki  Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (1975) and the  Almaty Declaration of December 21, 1991, and striving to develop  relations based on the norms and principles enshrined in the said  documents, expressing mutual will to establish good-neighborly  relations among themselves, agreed to establish peace and interstate  relations.
