Welcome to Episode 3 of the Geopolitics Snapshot, where we take a look at current geopolitical events that are shaping the world around us!
This time we take a look at the peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan that was just signed at the White House in Washington D.C. after nearly four decades of war and broken ceasefires.
US president Donald Trump has hailed the agreement as a big breakthrough – so let’s break down what’s actually in the agreement, why the much-talked-about “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity” (TRIPP) matters, and what still isn’t settled (spoiler: ratification and implementation are everything).
We will also look at how this reshapes the South Caucasus—from Armenia’s pivot away from Russia to Azerbaijan’s new overland link to Nakhchivan and Turkey. And what it means for Russia, Iran, Turkey, and the EU.

?? The son of his buddy witkoff, named zach has made a deal/investment in Azerbaijan; it is all about the money with those corrupt families; in Qatar, Gaza etc. And under the seal of the usa….
Trump wants gtfo china and russia in this region
armenia should get that enclave, so azerbaijan and armenia has a enclave in their territory
So after what happend to the poor Armenians they just gonna ignore what happened to the Armenian genocide and their lands.
Even though Azerbaijan and Türkiye killed the Armenians like bunch of murders, yet they still blame Armenia.
I hope Armenia defeats this in Parliament. Stupid Trump is out to screw Armenia as bad as he is out to screw America. Idiot.
As an Armenian, I really want the peace deal to arrive. Not talking about what is unfair or not, but certainly the peace deal is a happy ending.
Russia never helped Armenia.
Russia betrayed Armenia. 🇦🇲 💔 🇷🇺
Why does nobody care about Armenia.
They didn't do anything wrong.
May god bless the Armenians.
I hope Armenia and Azerbaijan become friends. 🇦🇲 ❤ 🇦🇿
Armenia and Azerbaijan come to peace after decades of conflict due to us involvement? Outstanding! [scrolls down on the map] hol' up.
As a Pontic Greek I feel awful how we failed at establishing the republic of Pontus and Armenia.
Now both of us lost . But fear not because God is powerful and will show us the way.
I hope trump gives them more land look how small the country is.
Albania and Aberbaijan
Incorrect from the beginning. Artsakh (=Nagorno-Karabakh) was only alive because of Russian peacekeepers. Armenia distanced itself from Russia in favor of NATO (who were already backing Azerbaijan), so when the Azeris attacked, Russia just left. And now Artsakh is lost forever, and Armenia is cucked. Grear job.
No, it was Albania. Get it right.
Hoping peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia is not a choice. Because neither Armenians nor Azerbaijanis agree on this that they don't hate each other. They just stopped it for a while which will already start again. It is just reloading the weapon and you will see it don't worry.
Poor armenia they are surrounded by turks had to give up the part of their land for that corridor and 100'000 of their civlian people got deported from karabakh in 2023
Stay strong armenia 🇦🇲❤️🇷🇸
leave the ethnically christian armenian (mostly armenian) lands to the muslim turks in the east and cause conflict.
well, well, well, another USSR classic
still, no matter what, this peace deals made me happy. the leader of a small party who visited armenia told us, "they are really very poor. what they call a supermarket is equivalent to our corner stores. they are not a big country; they are about the size of one of our small provinces. they are extreme nationalists and think we talk about them every day in turkey. they, on the other hand, don't talk about anything else but the genocide. i even saw some who thought we were discussing how to get rid of the remaining armenians while two turks were chatting. due to the closed borders, they are in extreme poverty and losing population every day. if it were up to me, i would open the borders; they have a population of around two million. after seeing that poverty, my views changed."
i truly believe what they say. armenians living on $15,000 a month in the diaspora says “no! never make peace with muslim turks, defend christian lands, blah blah blah” to those trying to live with $200 in a month in armenia. its very sad. i hope the borders open and these people can travel to the world via turkey. there is no problem with an armenian going to kars (an eastern turkish city) to do business and shop. these are the things that increase prosperity. god bless both people / tanrı uluslarımızı korusun / Աստված օրհնի մեր ազգերին
"Russia did little to support armenia" – was there any official document demanding russian intervention? or did Armenia recognize Karabakh as a sovereign state, to make it ally, to be in actual official conflict with Azerbaijan?
The thing here is that neither Russia or Armenia ever recognized Karabakh, but Armenia acts as if Russia was supposed to do something (though they did what they had to – they saved and protected civilians as they could, some peacekeepers were killed during this mission). Armenian demands are baseless, and their elites' new course towards the west will bring their country to doom
Van Mouch Garin Ardahan Nahijevan Karabage Armenien 🇦🇲❤️💯🇦🇲 Stop Panturkizm 👹🇹🇷👹🇦🇿👹
I think we will soon see territorial changes in Iran, although I think Iran is going to get a little bigger.
I only see a deal AGAINST armenians, once again. All of Armenia's allies abandoned it, and the world too. I feel bad for them. We can only pray that things get better for our christian brothers
There are several inaccuracies in this video, but I’ll focus on just one. You state that Artsakh is internationally recognized as Azeri territory. Can you actually back that up? Can you point to a single international document, agreement, or treaty that explicitly recognizes Artsakh as part of Azerbaijan? Highly unlikely—because no such document exists.
In fact, the population of Artsakh legally separated from Azerbaijan in line with the Soviet constitution and by referendum. Let’s also remember that Azerbaijan itself is an artificially created state that “borrowed” its name from a region in neighboring Iran. It entered the Soviet Union without Artsakh as part of its territory. After the collapse of the USSR, Azerbaijan declared independence but claimed continuity not from Soviet Azerbaijan, but from the first Azeri republic. This distinction matters, because Artsakh was never part of that first republic.
Artsakh was attached to Soviet Azerbaijan only by Stalin’s decree—without any regard for historical reality and without asking the local population whether they wanted to belong to another country. Adding to the irony, Azerbaijan itself calls the Soviet era an “illegal occupation.” So, Azerbaijan entered the USSR without Artsakh, left the USSR with Artsakh, and still denounces the Soviet period as illegitimate. By that logic, the “occupying power” supposedly gifted Azerbaijan a massive piece of land.
No, THEY brokered their own peace. Any sitting president would have arbitrated the deal, but it wasn't trump…..unless you're saying we can thank trump for everything every one else does…thank you trump for driving me to work, thanks trump for letting me buy a sandwhich and then making me the sandwhich…thanks trump for writing the laws against all types of things….
trump just takes credit for stuff other people have been doing for years…
There is no meme Armenia has died
IF Trump did make peace again and he calls himself, "The CHOSEN ONE", then by definition, he is The Christians IDEAL Anti-Christ!
Russiaand Usa are just fighting for inflyence at this poibt
nice spring play
So basically Armenia lost
I appreciate both countries made peace but what about mexico eh trump?
Ofc i hear this right after landing in azerbaijan
If we (Armenia) tskes the deal, we're cooked bc holy shit our citizens love to protest, but if we dont, we are cooked because Azerbaijan is clearly mote powerful
