"The U.S.-brokered agreement is intended to ensure peace, but also has a significant economic component. Armenia has agreed to allow a 43.5-km corridor through its territory."
"The corridor would allow people and goods to travel between Turkey and Azerbaijan and beyond to Central Asia without passing through Iran or Russia."
Trump labeled the gathering a "Historic Peace Summit" as he seeks to be seen as a global peacemaker. A U.S.-brokered agreement aims to ensure peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan, who have had cross-border conflicts since the late 1980s. Armenia has consented to a corridor that will link Azerbaijan with Turkey and Central Asia, bypassing Iran and Russia. This project, supported by Turkey, is opposed by Iran and Russia and signifies a shift in Armenia's stance during U.S.-led diplomatic efforts.
