U.S. Senator: Azerbaijan, Armenia, and regional nations will gain from the TRIPP project
"Every president since George W. Bush has pursued their own peace initiatives to resolve the Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict, but all have fallen short," said Steve Daines, U.S. Senator from Montana, during his speech at "The US in the South Caucasus: Mapping New Strategic Opportunities" conference in Washington.
According to him, some of the Presidents did not properly resource or prioritize the issue, while others simply could not get the two sides to see eye to eye, News.Az reports, citing AZERTAC.
“And that brings us to this year when the Trump administration prioritized finding peace in the South Caucasus. Both Armenia and Azerbaijan turned toward an independent future in a unique partnership with the United States. And I must tell you that Steve Witkoff's team was immediately on the ground tackling the thorniest issues of this deal. The American negotiators came up with the innovative concept of the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity or TRIPP as it's referred to, that would connect Azerbaijan to its exclave in the Nakhchivan, while creating a new trade route, of course, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and other regional states would benefit from,” the senator added.
