USA is preparing to mediate the historical grievances between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and sign a peace agreement in the US! The strength of a nation is not achieved through plundering, suppression, invasion, monopoly, or possession. It is achieved through developing the national economy and showcasing technological power, thus standing firm in the world. Our country has developed this way, by developing science and technology and the economy, which is how we have become strong!
President of Armenia looked serious and expressionless, with his head slightly lowered, as he came to the meeting as a loser. President of Azerbaijan raised his head high, with an arrogant and relaxed demeanor, because he was the winner. When the junior partners set up their own bases, it means that the era of the big brother is gone forever, and there will no longer be world reshaping events like World War II, only small knives cutting into flesh.
A peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan without Turkey's participation cannot bring lasting peace. America is just putting on a show for face, and this peace agreement is merely a formality, with no real significance, and Turkey may cause trouble again!
Previously, Trump got Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to sign a peace agreement in the US. If Armenia and Azerbaijan also sign a peace agreement in the US, and if Russia and Ukraine also sign a peace agreement in the US, then Trump would really win the Nobel Peace Prize. In addition, Trump has been involved in other conflicts such as the India-Pakistan conflict and the Cambodia-Thailand conflict. Because Trump had a big opponent, Obama. Obama had won the Nobel Peace Prize before, so Trump vowed to also get the Nobel Peace Prize.
The short-term peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia is actually to implement the US's Caucasus strategy, which is to open up the land connection between Azerbaijan and Turkey. That is to build a railway through the Zangezur corridor in southern Armenia. This is a fact. Regardless of anything, the US wants to expand its influence into the Caucasus region, to undermine the big goose's position, has become a fact. Turkey is also eager to act, trying to find opportunities to expand its territory. After all, the US has inserted its stake into the Caucasus region, only for economic interests, while Turkey is different, it is for political and geopolitical influence.
Certainly, the US also wants to expand its influence, to bring the three countries of the Caucasus under its control. However, once the Zangezur corridor is opened, it is not without benefits for us. Then our Belt and Road Initiative's southern route can go through the Zangezur corridor, directly reaching Turkey, and becoming a new connecting belt. There is no problem with that. It depends on how the big goose opposes it.
