Armenia is a sovereign state in the South Caucasus region of Eurasia. Known for its fraught relations with Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh, its historical genocide recognition efforts, and its complex positioning between Russia, the EU, and the West. Recently, Armenia has deepened ties with the U.S. and Israel while navigating EU accession prospects and an ongoing Russian military presence. Last updated Jul 17th, 2026

U.S. President Donald Trump:
"Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, of Armenia, a great friend and Leader, is making his Country strong, wealthy, and very secure! Nikol completely shares my vision of PEACE and PROSPERITY for Armenia and the entire South Caucasus region. Our Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, just traveled to Armenia, where he advanced several important Deals for both our Countries. Soon, the United States and Armenia will break ground together on the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity, which will transform the South Caucasus, and help our wonderful American Energy Companies gain access from Central Asia all the way to the United States. For these reasons, Nikol has my COMPLETE and TOTAL Endorsement for Re-Election on June 7, 2026. With Nikol's help, we will bring the United States, Armenia, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia to greater heights than ever before. Make (Armenia) Great Again — MAGA! President DONALD J. TRUMP."
