Im giving it 5 years 7 tops before lads start shooting again
Hopefully this one will last longer than the one between Belgrade and Priština
Historic agreements are historic *after* some history.
The day it’s signed, you can’t tell a historic agreement from toilet paper with ink on it. You only know after 10 or 20 years which agreements were toilet paper and which were historic. Till then it’s diplomats jerking each other off and trying to justify raises.
Europe, with it’s long history of now-forgotten strongly worded letters and non-historic “historic agreements” should be more aware of this than most parts of the world.
Not hard to agree when one side already got effectively all it wanted
>Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to create a major transit corridor that will be named the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity.
What a hilariously absurd name. So profoundly Orwellian.
Armenia accepts its eventual defeat in the long post 1989 war. The only thing is, Trump is parading as the benefactor in this situation however it all depends on whether the USA actually throws its weight in the region as a durable conflict inhibitor.
If so, then it would give more leeway to Armenia long term, by finally breaking its unconfortable isolation btw AZ and Turkey, with the only solution an vasselage to Russia – which eventually proved absolutely vacuous.
The EU has tremendous interests to facilitate the transit of AZ gas through Armenia and then the black sea or Turkey. It could even be a brick towards central asia, a region which has been identified as strategic by Brussels in its attemps to diversify its resources procurement. It already has observers on the ground at the border. Could it ramp up this effort aided by this auspicious context?
Aliyev and Pashnyan *personally* benefit from the (illiberal) world Trump is trying create.
Their aim is not national security. It’s regime security.
meanwhile russia:
BUT BUT BUT, ISN’T THERE SOMEONE YOU FORGOT TO ASK?!
Well, finally Trump made some peace this and Cambodia and Thailand, I hope the peace lasts, the world doesn’t need more violence.
As soon as russia is out of there, conflict ends.
Coincidence? I’m pretty sure it was russia who was provoking both sides. Easier to control someone who’s busy and weakened while fighting someone else.
This article gives more context.

“Trump said the United States signed separate deals with each country to expand cooperation on energy, trade and technology, including artificial intelligence. Details were not released.”
“The peace deal could transform the South Caucasus, an energy-producing region neighboring Russia, Europe, Turkey and Iran that is criss-crossed by oil and gas pipelines but riven by closed borders and longstanding ethnic conflicts.“
LOL I bet this is why this moron got mad at Indians because they would not let him hog the limelight after their recent conflict with the Pakis.
It’s truly a good day, this was definitely unexpected but incredible as it was so unlikely it would ever happen.
Best part is that it further sidelines Russia and Putin from the region and opens up more western influence
I somehow doubt that peace will last long or will be sustainable. I give them five months, one year at most.
Call me cynical but conflicts never seem to end.
finally, I hope this peace will be permanent thing and we can get all prosperous as a Turkish citizen I get sick of seeing surrounded of wars.
Lausanne was a peace treaty as well.
interesting. of course the orange demands a nobel prize, but i wonder how much of a factor he really played in the negotiations, since i heard him mention about it about two times before.
> White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said the new transit corridor will “allow unimpeded connectivity between the two countries while respecting Armenia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and its people.”
Let’s see what Azerbaijan thinks about this sovereignty and territorial integrity when Armenia is trying to police tthat corridor.
What do Armenians and Azerbaijanis think about the agreement?

Welcome to r/Europe, where you get flamed for stopping a multi-decade war with buy-in from both sides.
In the EU’s backyard and they are not useful whatsoever
And when it finally comes to light they can rename it the road paved for a pedophile through the grifting of idiots
I don’t believe that Aliev that built his dictatorial powers based on fascist anti-Armenian agenda will just stop even after such an obvious victory (that happened actually two years ago). He will need to have an external enemy, to explain the inequality, lack of basic human rights, the barriers with the civilized world and just to fuel nationalist anti-Armenian fervor that was fed to his subjects for 30 years as a cornerstone of the nation-building process.
