The winds of peace are blowing across the world.
A day after it was announced that US President Donald J. Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin are going to meet in the next few days, and that this meeting is a real opportunity to end the war in Ukraine, we learn of another hopeful development.
Reports state that Trump plans to announce tomorrow (8) at the White House ‘a pact for peace’ between warring neighbors Azerbaijan and Armenia.
CBS News reported:
“Azerbaijan’s president, Ilham Aliyev, and Armenia’s prime minister, Nikol Pashinyan, will attend the events in the Oval Office and State Dining Room, the sources said. The agreement, the first ever inked between the two heads of state, comes as U.S. officials seek to deepen ties with the two countries, with energy production and transit as key attractions.”
“Armenia intends to announce U.S. development rights on a 43-kilometer transit corridor to be called the ‘Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity’, which will help provide access to the West, two of the sources said.”
This is the product of months of work by U.S. officials.
After a series of military conflicts between the countries, a 2023 peace treaty was signed – but the peace talks to implement the treaty hit a snag in March.
Enter Special Envoy Steve Witkoff – rapidly becoming legendary in his handling of multiple negotiations on behalf of peacemaker Trump.
Azerbaijan must make peace with Armenia to join the Abraham Accords, US officials have stated, as part of a plan to expand that agreement beyond the Arab countries that signed up to it in 2020 when they recognized Israel.
“’We stopped a lot of countries from war — India and Pakistan. We stopped a lot of countries’, he said Sunday. ‘You heard about Cambodia and Thailand. We got that one done. We got the Congo, which was going on for 31 years — Rwanda, that one’s done. We stopped a lot of wars’.”
