– President Trump on Tuesday called the collapse of a ceasefire between Armenia and Azerbaijan “disappointing,” Reuters reports. “That’s what happens when you have … countries that have been going at it for a long time,” he told reporters at the White House. “It’ll get back together.” Trump had brokered a ceasefire between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh over the weekend. On Tuesday, Armenia announced that Nagorno-Karabakh forces had withdrawn from a strategic town between the enclave and the Iranian border, an apparent military gain for Azerbaijan. The two sides accused each other of striking targets outside Nagorno-Karabakh itself in defiance of the ceasefire brokered over the weekend.
