Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev on Friday proposed a joint initiative with Armenia to nominate US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, following the signing of an agreement aimed at ending decades of conflict between the two nations.
“So maybe we agree with Prime Minister (Nikol) Pashinyan to send a joint appeal to the Nobel committee to award President Trump with the Nobel Peace Prize,” Aliyev said during an event at the White House.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan supported the proposal, saying: “I think President Trump deserves to have the Nobel Peace Prize and we will promote that.”
With this development, five countries have now publicly endorsed Trump for the award.
Pakistan was the first to make such a call, crediting him for helping broker what Islamabad described as a ceasefire with India.
However, New Delhi has strongly rejected the claims that America was involved in the May 10 ceasefire development following Operation Sindoor.
Israel also extended its support, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu handing Trump a letter addressed to the Nobel committee during his visit to Washington, formalising Tel Aviv’s backing.
Cambodia voiced its endorsement after the US mediated a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand, which followed five days of hostilities.
Azerbaijan and Armenia’s endorsement comes days after they signed a peace accord at the White House, a deal the leaders say could pave the way for lasting peace between the longtime rivals.
