“President Donald Trump played a historic role in advancing peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia at the Washington peace summit that he hosted on August 8, 2025.
In recognition of his outstanding contribution to the peace process, Azerbaijan and Armenia, at my initiative, have jointly nominated President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
