Armenian Weekly: Renaming Zangezur the “Trump Route” is the only achievement of Azerbaijan-Armenia talks in Washington

"The Washington declaration, self-proclaimed as ‘historic,’ lacks operational content and is shaped by Trump-style politics: striking gestures, grandiloquent branding and open promises that postpone all substantive decisions. Renaming Zangezur the ‘Trump Route’ is, in practice, the only concrete achievement of a negotiation that neither resolves territorial disputes nor addresses fundamental humanitarian or political issues," notes The Armenian Weekly, one of the main mouthpieces of the Armenian diaspora in the United States.

"The ‘Trump Route’ will be less a path to peace and more a reminder that, in the Caucasus, grand gestures rarely guarantee lasting solutions. The upcoming Armenian elections are not just a domestic affair; they are a pivotal vote that will determine whether this fragile arrangement holds or collapses — with consequences that will echo from Yerevan to Tehran and beyond," the newspaper adds.
