Iran threatens to block Trump planned corridor in agreement

Moscow says that West must move away

Trump received the president of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in the White House on Friday and witnessed the signing of a joint statement to establish a limit to the conflict of decades.

Russia, the traditional mediator and allied of Armenia in the strategically important region of southern Caucasus, which is crossed by pipelines and pipelines, has not been included, although its border guards are positioned on the Armenian and Iran border.

Although Moscow said he supported the summit, he proposed “the implementation of solutions developed by the region’s own countries with the support of their immediate neighbors – Russia, Iran and Turkey” to avoid what he called “sad experience” of western mediation efforts in the Middle East.

Turkey, a member of NATO, an ally near Azerbaijan, greeted the agreement.

Baku and Yerevan have been in conflict since the late 1980s, when Nagorno-Karabakh, a mountainous region of the most inhabited Azerbaijan by ethnic Armenians, separated from Azerbaijan with the support of Armenia.
