Yet the more than 30-year conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan has discouraged foreign investment and limited regional cooperation. It is firmly in America's interest that this region be stable and secure which is why the peace deal brokered by President Trump between Armenia and Azerbaijan is so geopolitically significant. As the United States looks ahead to next year it should focus on two priorities"
