## Transcript

It's a long time. 35 years they fought. And now they're friends. And they're going to be friends for a long time. But it's a big, beautiful honor to welcome everyone to the white House for this very historic peace summit between Armenia and Azerbaijan. It's really a great thrill for me. I love seeing good people get together and that's what you have. You have two great leaders. I want to congratulate these two visionary people, Prime Minister Pashinian and President Aliyev, for coming to Washington to sign this momentous joint declaration. It's a tremendously important document, and it's been a long time in coming.

They were explaining before that so many times they thought they could get there. It never happened, just never happened. For more than 35 years, Armenia and Azerbaijan have fought a bitter conflict that resulted in tremendous suffering for both nations. They suffered gravely for so many years. Many tried to find a resolution, including the European Union. The Russians worked very hard on it. Never happened. Sleepy Joe Biden tried. But you know what happened there? He tried for probably 12 minutes and it didn't work out. And many other countries tried, and they were unsuccessful. But with this accord, we've finally succeeded in making peace.

And we just left the Oval Office, where we signed voluminous documents and very important elements to the agreement. Very importantly, we have also resolved the key issue that foiled previous negotiations. This declaration establishes what they are calling a great honor for me. I didn't ask for this. The Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity, which is a special transit area that will allow Azerbaijan to get full access to its territory of Nakhchivan while fully respecting Armenia's sovereignty. So they're going to be able to really live and work together. And it's amazing. So it's a very important territory, I guess, very special territory to you and to you.

And now they work together. Armenia is also creating an exclusive partnership with the United States to develop this corridor, which could extend for up to 99 years. And then they promised in 99 years, they'll extend it, right? You promise? I think President Trump Trump deserved to to to have Nobel Peace Prize. And we will we will defend that and we promote we will promote for that. And that's obvious. So and today's event I think is a very bright expression of that. And uh, hopefully you will invite us to front row. You'll be front row. Yeah. Yeah. We are in favor. Thank you. Thank you. Uh, can I have a suggestion?

Yes. So maybe we agree with Prime Minister Pashinian to send a joint appeal to Nobel committee to award President Trump with the Nobel Peace Prize. Because. From the leaders of the countries which were at war for more than three decades, having this historic signature here, it really means a lot. This is tangible result of President Trump's leadership, and no one could have achieved that. There have been many presidents here since beginning of 90s and the so-called Minsk process, which, by the way, today we put an end to with my Armenian colleague, started in 1992. So negotiation under the auspices of OSCE continued for more than three decades without any result.

So who, if not President Trump, deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. I don't want to go into the history of some very strange decisions of Nobel Peace Committee to award the prize for someone who didn't do anything at all, but President Trump in six months did miracle. So I think that my Armenian colleague will support it. And judging by the reaction of the audience, I think as soon as we come back, we will agree to issue a joint letter. And hopefully and I also join when president is awarded. We hope that he will invite us to the ceremony. You certainly will be. Thank you very much. Do we have draft to sign now?

Well, we'll see what happens. We already like to sign. Thank you very much. It's very nice. That is so great. And we'll hold up. How about holding up that document? All right.
