The peace agreement is going to end, ending the tension between Azerbaijan and Armenia for 33 years. All this is going to be possible due to the mediation of US President Donald Trump. This deal can be a diplomatic achievement for US President Donald Trump, especially when he could not succeed in Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas struggle. According to the report of the Middle East I, after a secret talks in Abu Dhabi in July 2025, it will be in Washington, which will open the way for the full peace agreement of the future.
The original Nagorno-Karabakh is the origin of the dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan. This region that is part of Azerbaijan in international recognition, but came under control of Armenian forces in the 1993 war. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the region became the center of a complex struggle. The clashes and military operations in 2016, 2020 and 2023 further provoked the struggle. Azerbaijan took a decisive lead in the 6 -week war in 2020 and the 2023 military operations. The Nagorno-Karabakh administration was dissolved in early 2024.
What are the obstacles in the path of agreement?
However, the two countries had agreed to the draft of the peace agreement in March 2025, but some demands of Azerbaijan became an obstacle, which is as follows.
- Azerbaijan wants Armenia to remove the mention of ‘Nagorno-Karabakh’ from his constitution. For this, Armenia will have to hold a referendum.
- Azerbaijan wants ‘Zangezur Corridor’ that will connect Azerbaijan with his enclave and then Turki.
These issues can be difficult to have full agreement, but the signature on the letter is a strong step towards peace.
Role of Pakistan and Trump
The role of India and Pakistan in this entire scenario is also worth noting that India has always maintained cooperation with Armenia, especially in the defense sector. Recently India supplied Pinaka rocket launcher and radar system to Armenia. Azerbaijan is a close aide of Pakistan and both countries often perform joint military exercises. Pakistan never recognized Armenia. India’s initiative is not directly involved in this initiative, but a stable Cocks region may be strategically important for India, especially in terms of its connectivity goals with Iran, Central Asia and Europe.
