US Vice President Vance makes historic first visit to Armenia for peace talks

US Vice President JD Vance traveled to Armenia, marking the first time a sitting US president or vice president has visited the country. During his trip, he met with Armenian officials and also visited Azerbaijan to advance peace talks and discuss a strategic partnership.

Vance promoted a 'peace corridor' and the US signed a strategic partnership agreement with Azerbaijan. The visit was seen as a significant shift in regional diplomacy, with Russian media commenting that Russia had 'lost Armenia' due to the new US engagement.
