Washington, July 22, 2025 – The Europe Today: U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday shared a post on his “Truth” social media platform featuring remarks by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, made during the 3rd Shusha Global Media Forum held in Khankendi.
The excerpt from President Aliyev’s speech praised Trump’s approach to international diplomacy and conflict resolution, commending him as a leader who values peace and shared principles.
“I simply said that it would be preferable for the Azerbaijani people, given that he, like us, shares fundamental values, including family values. He is the only U.S. president who has not started wars. And in his short time in office, it is clear that he is a man who ends wars,” President Aliyev stated.
Aliyev further expressed appreciation for Trump’s personal interest in the peace process between Azerbaijan and Armenia. “We are also very grateful to him personally for his desire to help Azerbaijan and Armenia to come to an agreement in the end. Despite the fact that he is busy with more global issues of international security, he also keeps the situation in the South Caucasus in his field of view,” he added.
The 3rd Shusha Global Media Forum brought together journalists, media experts, and political figures from around the world to discuss global media trends, regional issues, and geopolitical developments. President Aliyev’s remarks gained international attention for their candid appraisal of U.S. foreign policy under Trump’s leadership.
President Trump’s repost of the statement underscores growing diplomatic recognition of U.S. efforts in fostering regional stability, particularly in the South Caucasus.
