Mike Waltz: The Conflict in the South Caucasus Must End, Prisoners Should Be Released

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, Mike Waltz, has called on Azerbaijan to free all Armenian prisoners and said its conflict with Armenia must finally be resolved.

“Conflict in the South Caucasus must end,” Waltz said in an X post on Sunday. “I spoke this week with Mr. Hikmet Hajiyev, the national security advisor for President Aliyev in Azerbaijan.

“We are pleased Azerbaijan and Armenia have taken a big step forward and agreed to a peace treaty. I told him we should finalize this peace deal now, release the prisoners, and work together to make the region more secure and prosperous.”

“America’s Golden Age will bring peace and prosperity to the world, and we won’t stop working until that happens,” added Waltz.
