Armenia, France discuss cooperation in security 

ArmInfo.  During a working visit to Paris on September 5, Secretary of the National Security Council of Armenia Armen Grigoryan met with the Secretary General of the General Secretariat for Defense and National Security under the Prime Minister of France Nicolas Roche.

As reported by the press service of the Security Council of Armenia,  the interlocutors discussed the agenda of bilateral relations between  Armenia and France, in particular, they touched upon issues of  cooperation in the field of security, and also discussed interaction  in the framework of cybersecurity and the fight against pollution of  the information environment.

Grigoryan presented the agreements reached on August 8 on unblocking  regional communications, emphasizing that this will create broad  economic opportunities for both the countries of the region and for  countries outside the region.

During the meeting, an agreement was reached on the  institutionalization of existing ties between the departments of the  two countries.

On August 8, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani  President Ilham Aliyev signed a joint seven-point "Declaration of  Peace" in Washington. It envisages a joint appeal to the Organization  for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to end 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 Nakhchivan exclave surrounded by Armenia, Turkey  and Iran. The TRIPP project (Trump Route for International Peace and  Prosperity, a 42-km road in southern Armenia that will hand over  control of the road to the United States for 99 years), according to  experts, is capable of significantly changing the geopolitical  situation in the South Caucasus.
