ArmInfo. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan cited the need for an extraordinary delimitation of certain sections of Syunik as a pretext for advancing the "Trump Route" project.
"Let's imagine that a gas pipeline is to pass through here, but this section has not been delimited, and our delimitation commissions had already made a joint decision before August 8 that the delimitation process should proceed from north to south (from the northern section - from the junction of the borders of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, and further south - from north to south, to the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan with Iran - ed.). On the other hand, the need for infrastructure construction has arisen," he said on November 14 at a conference titled "Crossroads of Peace: Developing Regional Communications and Cooperation."
For example, to begin construction of a railway, power line, etc., the appropriate infrastructure must be in place. This, first and foremost, requires defining the country's jurisdiction so that the builder knows what part of the country they are working on, the Prime Minister explained.
As a reminder, on August 8, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev signed a seven-point joint "Declaration of Peace" in Washington. It includes 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 Nakhchivan exclave, surrounded by Armenia, Turkey, and Iran. The TRIPP (Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity) project (a 42-kilometer road in southern Armenia that will hand over management to the United States for 99 years) project, according to experts, has the potential to significantly change the geopolitical situation in the South Caucasus.
