Aliyev expressed hope that the peoples of Azerbaijan and Armenia would be able to “turn over the dark page of history,” reconcile, and live in peace. He stressed that the peace achieved is not only an opportunity for the region but also for the entire world, opening the way to stability, investment, and prosperity.
The President of Azerbaijan thanked Donald Trump and his team, as well as Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, for successfully completing a years-long negotiation process in a short time. Aliyev noted that it was precisely thanks to the efforts of the American side that the sides were able to avoid protracted and fruitless talks.
The parties agreed to develop, within the next few months, a Charter on Strategic Partnership between Baku and Washington, covering key areas of cooperation: mutual investments, trade, energy, transport and transit projects, artificial intelligence, defense product sales, and counter-terrorism.
Aliyev also expressed special gratitude to the US President for repealing the long-standing Section 907 amendment applied to Azerbaijan, calling the decision “a day that will forever remain in the memory of the Azerbaijani people.”
In recognition of the American leader’s role in establishing peace, Aliyev proposed, together with Nikol Pashinyan, appealing to the Nobel Committee to nominate Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
According to Aliyev, the so-called “Trump Route” to international peace and prosperity will create new lines of communication, remove barriers, and connect many countries, ensuring economic growth and security.
