Pashinyan says TRIPP project in “working phase,” no obstacles to implementation

The implementation of the TRIPP project is currently in an active “working phase,” and there are no political or financial obstacles to its realization, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has said.

“There is a continuous working process. If not on a daily basis, then at least weekly, engineering, design, financial, and logistical issues are being discussed. In other words, the process is moving forward, and if technical issues do not interfere, we want to see construction work on the ground already this year,” the Prime Minister said at a press briefing.

Asked about Armenia–US cooperation on TRIPP, Pashinyan said that an important bilateral document is expected to be ratified in the near future, after which the process will move into its practical implementation phase.

Armenia and the United States signed a framework agreement earlier in June on strategic cooperation concerning the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP).
