Armenia and Azerbaijan leaders praise former President Trump's role in brokering historic peace framework that promises regional economic integration.

President Donald Trump has been hailed as a "peacemaker" by a senior diplomat for overseeing the initial agreement between two historical rivals. The Azerbaijan Ambassador to the UK Elin Suleymanov said the US President "doesn't pursue ideological narrative" as he welcomed talks between Baku and neighbouring Armenia.

The federal government is calling for the release of Armenian detainees and prisoners of war in Azerbaijan as it praised the road to peace paved by a White House-brokered meeting last week between the two countries locked in decades of conflict.
