Speaker of Parliament, Alen Simonyan, held a meeting with Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna during his visit to Yerevan.

According to a readout from the parliament’s press service, the discussions focused on bilateral and inter-parliamentary relations, as well as topics concerning Armenia–EU relations and democratic reforms.

Views were also exchanged on regional developments, with particular attention given to the peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan and the “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity” (TRIPP) project.

The Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) is a connectivity project in Armenia, envisaged under the U.S.-brokered Armenian-Azerbaijani joint declaration signed in Washington, D.C. The project is expected to unlock strategic economic opportunities, create long-term benefits by promoting infrastructure investment, and enhance regional connectivity. An Armenian-American joint enterprise is expected to develop the route.
