Pashinyan Signs Trump-Brokered ‘Peace Deal’ With Azerbaijan at White House

BREAKING NEWS: A so-called “historic” peace agreement signed at the White House today between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, and U.S. President Donald Trump is being celebrated in Washington and Baku — but for Armenians at home and across the diaspora, it marks another devastating loss in a series of political failures.
The deal, brokered by Trump and promoted as a permanent end to hostilities, ignores the core issues at the heart of the decades-long conflict. It says nothing about Azerbaijan’s ongoing aggression against Armenia, its illegal occupation of Armenian lands, or its refusal to release Armenian prisoners of war still held in Baku. There is no provision guaranteeing the safe and dignified return of the displaced Armenians of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) to their ancestral homes — a right that international law should protect but which this agreement completely sidesteps.
Even worse, the agreement opens the door for a U.S.-controlled “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity” (TRIPP) through Syunik — the strategic province bordering Iran — granting Washington management rights for 99 years. Such a move risks destabilizing Armenia’s long-standing friendly relations with Iran, one of its only reliable neighbors in a hostile region. This is a geopolitical concession with deep, long-term consequences for Armenia’s sovereignty.
