Trump's Peace Initiatives Reshape Caucasus Power Dynamics

US President Donald Trump proposed a peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan, including a 99-year lease for the US to develop the Zangezur corridor, which could boost regional trade, reduce reliance on Russia and Iran, and potentially normalize Turkey-Armenia relations. The deal marks a shift in regional dynamics, challenging Moscow's influence, but faces challenges from Iran, Russia, and Armenia's internal politics. Successful implementation would require strong US and EU support to counteract potential sabotage and ensure lasting peace.

US Offers to Manage Armenia-Azerbaijan Transport Corridor Amid Geopolitical Tensions

The US has proposed taking control of the contentious Zangezur corridor, a route connecting Azerbaijan to Nakhchivan through Armenia, which Iran opposes due to its impact on regional borders and stability. The proposal aims to facilitate negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan but raises concerns about regional security and Iran's interests, especially amid tensions involving Azerbaijan, Israel, and Syria.

"Prospects of Peace Between Azerbaijan and Armenia Grow Stronger"

Azerbaijani officials have dismissed claims of a new conflict with Armenia, stating that a lasting peace deal between the two countries could be signed soon. Azerbaijan's foreign minister, Jeyhun Bayramov, expressed optimism about the conclusion of a peace treaty following Azerbaijan's recent control of Nagorno-Karabakh. The proposed agreement would end three decades of conflict and speculation that Azerbaijan might use military force to secure the Zangezur Corridor has been denied. Azerbaijan's top foreign policy aide, Hikmet Hajiyev, stated that the project has lost its attractiveness and that they can pursue transport linkages with Iran instead. The progress on the peace treaty could potentially revive the transport link, but without extraterritorial concessions. The EU's role as a mediator in the conflict is currently uncertain, with talks being postponed.
