NATO Lauds Armenia-Azerbaijan Peace Talks
"We welcome progress towards peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan & thank @POTUS (US President Donald Trump) for his investments in peace," NATO spokesperson Allison Hart posted on X.
She added: "This is a significant step forward for the normalisation process and for regional security more broadly."
The pact—signed Friday at a summit hosted by President Donald Trump at the White House—was endorsed by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, and Trump himself. The deal lays out a roadmap to formally end hostilities, reestablish cross-border transport, and normalize diplomatic ties.
NATO reaffirmed its commitment to continued engagement with both South Caucasus nations. Hart added that NATO remains committed to cooperating with both Azerbaijan and Armenia as partner nations.
The agreement marks a potential turning point in a decades-long conflict, rooted in territorial disputes that escalated into multiple wars since the late 1980s. The most recent flare-up occurred in 2023, when Azerbaijan reclaimed control of the disputed Karabakh region.
