VIDEO: Trump says Armenia, Azerbaijan are committing to stop all fighting forever

US President Donald Trump welcomed the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan to the White House on Friday, celebrating a historic agreement aimed at ending decades of conflict between the two South Caucasus nations.

“Armenia and Azerbaijan are committing to stop all fighting forever, open up commerce, travel and diplomatic relations and respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Trump declared during the summit.

In a move signaling deeper US engagement, Trump also announced he was lifting restrictions on military cooperation with Azerbaijan.

Highlighting the significance of the occasion, Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev proposed nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize alongside Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who quickly voiced his support.

“So maybe we agree with Prime Minister Pashinyan to send a joint appeal to the Nobel committee to award President Trump with the Nobel Peace Prize,” Aliyev said at the event.

Pashinyan added, “I think President Trump deserves to have the Nobel Peace Prize and we will defend that, and we will promote that.”
