After taking the stage at a campaign stop in New Hampshire, President Trump tweeted his congratulations Sunday to the Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, “who just agreed to adhere to a cease fire effective at midnight.”
“Many lives will be saved,” Trump wrote, adding that he was “proud of my team,” including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Deputy Secretary of State Stephen E. Biegun, and the White House's National Security Council, for “getting the deal done!”
The deal brokered by the U.S. comes after Armenian Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan and Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov met with Biegun on Saturday in Washington, D.C. Russia has tried to broker a ceasefire in the region twice before this month, but both frayed immediately, as both Armenia and Azerbaijan accused each other of violations.
This time, the U.S. “facilitated intensive negotiations among the Foreign Ministers and the Minsk Group Co-Chairs to move Armenia and Azerbaijan closer to a peaceful resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,” according to the statement released by the State Department on Sunday.
Fighting over Nagorno-Karabakh broke out on Sept. 27 and has grown into the biggest escalation in years over the region that lies within Azerbaijan but has been under the control of ethnic Armenian forces backed by Armenia since the end of a separatist war in 1994.
“Look at Armenia, they are incredible people, they’re fighting like hell,” Trump said. “Yesterday in Ohio we had a tremendous group of Armenians with the flags and the spirit. And the problems that they have, the deaths, the fighting and everything else, we’ll get that straightened out. I call that an easy one.”

22 Oct 2020: National Review: What We Know About Hunter Biden’s Deal with a Chinese Energy Company
By Jim Geraghty
Hunter was on the board of the World Food Program USA, a nonprofit that generates support for the U.N. World Food Programme, (WINNER OF 2020 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE) and he had hoped that (Ye Jianming, founder & former Chairman of CEFC) would make a large aid donation. At dinner that night, they discussed the donation, and then the conversation turned to business opportunities. Hunter offered to use his contacts to help identify investment opportunities for Ye’s company, CEFC China Energy, in liquefied-natural-gas projects in the United States. After the dinner, Ye sent a 2.8-carat diamond to Hunter’s hotel room with a card thanking him for their meeting...

Gee, Azerbaijan, sure would be a shame if you continued to align yourself with Turkey, which is the enemy of everyone else in the world. We'd hate to lose you as an ally against Iran.
There he goes again! Trump is obviously disguising his xenophobia, incompetence, and love of chaos by brokering yet another peace deal! And he is plainly angling for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Wow!

Heh. Cher is calling Armenia right now. “What the hell is wrong with you? Couldn’t you have waited until after the election to do this?”
