Pakistan, Feb. 10 -- Armenia and the United States signed a civil nuclear agreement on Monday to strengthen energy and diplomatic ties. The deal, formalized during Vice President JD Vance's visit, follows a U.S.-brokered peace accord with Azerbaijan. Officials said it could reshape regional trade and energy dynamics.

The 123 Agreement allows the U.S. to legally license nuclear technology and equipment to Armenia. Vance highlighted potential economic gains, including $5 billion in initial exports and $4 billion in long-term fuel and maintenance contracts. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan called it a "new chapter" in bilateral energy cooperation.
