Peace Agreement Between Armenia and Azerbaijan

President Trump: We have other distinguished guests, including dignitaries from your country, who have provided tremendous diplomatic assistance. And Marco, congratulations. This is something very important. Keep it up.

He got a lot of jobs. And of course, we could say that Steve was quite influential. I call him Henry Kissinger, but one who doesn’t leak information.

For more than 35 years, Armenia and Azerbaijan have fought a bitter conflict that has caused tremendous suffering for both nations. They suffered greatly for many years. Many tried to find a solution, including the European Union. The Russians worked very hard on it, but it never happened.

Sleepy Joe Biden tried, but you know what happened? He probably tried for about 12 minutes, and it didn’t work. And many other countries also tried, unsuccessfully. But with this agreement, we have finally made peace.

We just came from the Oval Office, where we signed voluminous documents and very important elements of the agreement. Armenia and Azerbaijan are committing to end all fighting forever, open trade, travel, and diplomatic relations, and respect each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, which is extremely important.

I just spent a lot of time with these two men. I think they will have a great relationship. You want to know the truth? They hadn’t seen each other much, but they probably will now. I think you two will have a great, great relationship. I have no doubt. And if not, call me and I’ll fix it, okay?
