Trump shares Aliyev’s Shusha Forum speech on Truth Social again

Donald Trump has once again shared a video clip of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s remarks from the Shusha Global Media Forum on his Truth Social account.

Aliyev praised Trump’s values and peacemaking efforts, reinforcing U.S.–Azerbaijan alignment amid escalating regional diplomacy.

In the segment, Aliyev remarks that although he didn’t predict Trump’s election victory, he noted that Trump shares "fundamental values, including family values" with the Azerbaijani people. He further emphasized that Trump is the only recent U.S. president who “did not start wars,” but rather ended them, an approach Aliyev called crucial for regional stability.

Aliyev also expressed gratitude for Trump’s efforts in bringing Armenia and Azerbaijan to the negotiating table, “despite being busy with broader global issues of international security.”

Following the initial repost, Aliyev responded publicly, thanking Trump and reaffirming his vision for deepened U.S.–Azerbaijan cooperation grounded in shared values and a commitment to peace.

This renewed posting comes amid broader U.S. diplomatic maneuvers in the South Caucasus, as evidenced by Trump’s upcoming White House “peace summit” with Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to finalize a historic peace agreement.
