U.S. brokers peace deal in Nagorno-Karabakh, creating "Trump Route" amid cautious optimism and skepticism.

Armenians and Azerbaijanis have greeted a U.S.-brokered peace deal with cautious optimism, though it does not officially end the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. The agreement includes a new transit corridor, "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity," which highlights shifting geopolitical dynamics in the South Caucasus. Skepticism remains over unclear aspects and potential concessions, especially as Azerbaijan continues to build its military capabilities. Despite the deal, there are concerns about its impact on regional stability and accountability for past conflicts.
