The Washington Post has confirmed this morning what CDM has been reporting, that a meeting will be held Friday at The White House between President Aliyev of Azerbaijan and Prime Minister Pashinyan of Armenia.
A peace deal may be signed between the long-feuding nations.
We are told by sources the first meetings will be one-on-one with President Trump followed by a trilateral meeting with all three leaders.
"The document being prepared is not a peace treaty, but the very fact of its signing in the White House will allow Donald Trump to again appear as a peacemaker — now in the South Caucasus. Yerevan and Baku, which are experiencing a crisis in relations with Moscow, are demonstrating their readiness to recognize the United States as the main curator of the region," writes Russia's Kommersant.
"Previously, the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia have repeatedly confirmed their readiness to turn the page on more than 30 years of bloody conflict and even agreed on all 17 points of the peace agreement. However, it was never signed due to the unfulfilled main demand of the Azerbaijani side to amend the Constitution of Armenia, which in its current form, according to Baku, creates the ground for Armenia’s territorial claims against Azerbaijan."
Although Armenia and Azerbaijan reached consensus on a draft peace agreement in March, Baku continues to insist on several additional conditions before finalising the deal. Chief among Azerbaijan’s demands is that Yerevan amend its constitution to remove references to Azerbaijani territory, a step that would require a national referendum in Armenia, writes Middle East Eye.
The anticipated White House summit follows a meeting between the two leaders in Abu Dhabi in July. Following the meeting, Aliyev said both countries could finalise the text of the agreement, or at least its main principles, within a few months and then initial them.
“Reaching an agreement on the basic principles, initialing them, and then working on the text can be an option,” Aliyev said, emphasising that such an approach hinges on Armenia amending its constitution.
The issue of the Zangezur corridor connecting separate parts of Azerbaijan, possibly to be controlled by U.S. forces is front and center in the possible agreements to be signed.
"This is the best soft security guarantee Armenia can get," said a source in the region to CDM last evening.
Others in Armenia have seen the move as a further loss of sovereignty for Armenia, and a source of future tension with Iran to the south.
Iran has reiterated support for the Armenian government's Crossroads of Peace project, emphasizing that the unblocking of regional transport links must be implemented with adherence to internationally recognized borders and without violating national sovereignty or territorial integrity of any state in the region, Armenpress reports.
