We signed the Armenia-Azerbaijan deal in 6 weeks.; they were at war for 37 years. Steve Witkoff

“We signed the Armenia–Azerbaijan deal in six weeks; they had been at war for 37 years,” said the U.S. President’s Special Representative Steve Witkoff during the annual Real Estate Impact conference held at the University of Miami.

“Azerbaijan and Armenia, on whose issue we were working on this deal on behalf of the President, was the easiest deal because The New York Times didn’t know about it. Therefore, they couldn’t say anything negative about what we were doing. We concluded that deal in six weeks. They had been at war for 37 years, and now the Prime Minister of Armenia and the President of Azerbaijan—President Aliyev—are good friends, brought together by President Trump,” Witkoff said.
