Pashinyan: All details of  TRIPP project must be presented on paper  by year end

ArmInfo.Armenia has never stated that the Trump route (TRIPP) should be implemented to the detriment of Azerbaijan's interests, as stated by Prime Minister  Nikol Pashinyan during government session in the National Assembly on November 12, in response to a question from David Danielyan, a member  of parliament from the ruling Civil Contract faction.

Danielyan, specifically, inquired about the existence of a roadmap  for the project and an approximate timeline for its implementation.

Pashinyan noted that he had come across a social media post from an  Azerbaijani official  claiming that the Trump route should be  implemented taking into account Baku's interests. "But Armenia has  never stated that the route should be used to the detriment of  Azerbaijan's interests. We have signed a document on mutually  acceptable terms. What are the terms acceptable to Azerbaijan? These  are what the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan signed. The acceptable  terms, as outlined in Point 3 of the Washington Declaration,   include: territorial integrity of states, sovereignty of states,  reciprocity, and the inviolability of borders," the Prime Minister  stated, pointing to the claims of the second and third presidents of  Armenia, Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan, about the  conspiratorial nature of the TRIPP project. "Look, come and stand in  front of me, and we'll see what happens. They constantly talk about  conspiracies, but they refuse to debate. As if that weren't enough,  now even the parliamentary opposition is taking turns refusing to  discuss them," the head of government noted.

Speaking about the TRIPP project, Pashinyan noted that all its  details should be presented on paper by the end of the year. The  program should be agreed upon with its participants in the first half  of 2026, and construction should begin in the second half of the  following year.

According to the Prime Minister, this is the plan, but it should be  kept in mind that, as experience shows, such projects always tend to  deviate from the planned schedule. This is especially true given the  ongoing global challenges, including in the Middle East, that  American representatives are preoccupied with other matters.  "Nevertheless, we will do everything possible to ensure the schedule  is maintained," the Armenian Prime Minister emphasized.
