JD Vance’s visit to Armenia and Azerbaijan is a milestone for peace - analysis US Vice President JD Vance arrived in Armenia this week for an important visit. He traveled to Azerbaijan on the afternoon of February 10. This is part of the overall policy of the Trump administration to secure peace in various places around the world. The Caucasus provides an important opportunity for the United States to showcase its commitments. This part of the world is important because it is south of Russia and it borders Turkey and Iran.
US-Iran talks are expected to continue this week.
Vance said in Armenia that “this is one of the oldest Christian countries in the entire world; a true bedrock of Christian civilization and culture. As a devout Christian myself, I know the meaning of this country to the entire world and to the religion that the prime minister and I share.” He also posted a portion of a speech he gave in the country. “Peace is not made by people who are too focused on the past. Peace is made by people who are focused on the future... We’re creating real prosperity for Armenia and the United States together.”
In Azerbaijan, the US vice president was welcomed by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. Aliyev posted on X/Twitter that he “welcomed Vice President of the United States James David Vance, who is on an official visit to Azerbaijan.”..........
