US-Mediated Deal With Azerbaijan 'Peace at Barrel of Gun', Armenian Newspaper Publisher Says
"I think a memorandum of understanding will be signed or initialed, establish the Trump Bridge, with the promise of an uncertain peace. Everyone wants real peace, but peace at the barrel of a gun is not real peace," editor-in-chief of English-language Armenian weekly newspaper The California Courier Harut Sassounian told Sputnik.
He expressed belief that the agreement will antagonize Russia and Iran against Armenia.
"Trump is interested in this plan for two reasons: to get a Nobel Peace Prize, and to distance Russia and Iran from the Caucasus," Sassounian added.
The Armenian government confirmed that Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, US President Donald Trump, and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev will meet in Washington. They will sign a peace framework between Baku and Yerevan, with the US gaining exclusive rights to develop a strategic transit corridor through the South Caucasus, media reported.
