Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturyan signed the law ratifying the framework agreement on strategic cooperation between the Republic of Armenia and the United States on the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) project. This was reported by the press service of the Armenian President.
In addition, Khachaturyan signed the law ratifying the charter of the Peace Council.
On October 28, the National Assembly of Armenia ratified the framework agreement with the United States on the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) project. 63 deputies voted in favor of the ratification, 32 voted against, and there were no abstentions. TRIPP envisions the creation of a multimodal transport and energy corridor through Armenia's Syunik Province, linking the mainland of Azerbaijan with Nakhichevan, as well as connecting the north and south of Armenia.
As a reminder, on August 8, 2025, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev signed a seven-point joint "Declaration of Peace" in Washington. It envisages a joint appeal to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to terminate the OSCE Minsk Process and related structures, as well as the creation of a transport corridor through Armenian territory that will connect Azerbaijan with its Nakhichevan exclave, surrounded by Armenia, Turkey, and Iran. On January 14, 2026, the Armenian Foreign Ministry published the framework document signed with the American side in Washington for the implementation of the "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity" (TRIPP). The 12-page document outlines the project's main objectives and operating mechanisms. Among other things, the document emphasizes that Armenia intends to authorize and support the establishment of the TRIPP Development Company. The company is expected to be responsible for developing the TRIPP project, receiving an initial development right for a period of 49 years. Armenia intends to offer the United States a 74% stake in the TRIPP Development Company, while retaining 26%. This partnership is expected to be extended for an additional 50 years, with an additional ownership stake granted to the Armenian government, bringing its stake to 49%.
