BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 14. U.S. Secretary of
State Marco Rubio and Foreign Minister of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan
met in Washington, D.C., to announce the release of the Trump Route
for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) Implementation
Framework, Trend
reports.
U.S. State Department has released the text of the document. It is noted that this
document is the latest step toward fulfilling the commitments made
at the White House on August 8, 2025, to advance the cause of
lasting peace in the South Caucasus.
“The Framework outlines a concrete path to operationalize the
TRIPP, which is intended to establish unimpeded, multimodal transit
connectivity on the territory of Armenia. While connecting the main
part of Azerbaijan and its Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and
creating a vital link in the Trans-Caspian Trade Route, the TRIPP
is expected to generate reciprocal benefits for international and
intra-state connectivity for the Republic of Armenia.
Reflecting the principles affirmed at the historic August 8,
2025, Peace Summit hosted by President Trump, the TRIPP
Implementation Framework underscores the importance of sovereignty,
territorial integrity, and reciprocity to the overall success of
the TRIPP. The ultimate objective of the TRIPP is to strengthen the
prosperity and security of Armenia and Azerbaijan and further
American commerce by expanding regional trade and connectivity as
well as create new transit opportunities linking Central Asia and
the Caspian to Europe,” the statement said.
