US President Donald Trump hosted Armenia's Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and the president of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, at the White House, announcing a peace deal that could resolve a conflict dating back to the late 1980s.
The neighboring countries had repeatedly fought over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, in the South Caucasus region between Europe and Asia. The now sealed peace agreement includes a transit corridor — called the "Trump Route" — linking Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan territory while respecting Armenia's sovereignty.
After years of clashes and stalled negotiations, both leaders hailed the deal as a turning point for regional peace and backed Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
