BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 14. U.S. Secretary of
State Marco Rubio commented on the joint statement of the heads of
foreign diplomacy of Armenia and the U.S. on the framework document
for the implementation of the Trump Route for International Peace
and Prosperity project on his official X page, Trend reports.


"Today, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan and I
announced the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity
(TRIPP) Implementation Framework. It builds on the commitments of
US President Donald Trump’s historic peace summit just five months
ago between Armenia and Azerbaijan," Rubio said.


According to him, the TRIPP will unlock the South Caucasus’
potential in trade, transit, and energy flows—boosting prosperity
and security throughout the region.

agreement signed between Armenia and the U.S. on the implementation
of the TRIPP project. Mirzoyan and Rubio met in Washington and
presented a framework program for the implementation of the TRIPP
project. The published document was assessed as a new step towards
fulfilling the commitments made at the White House on August 8,
2025, to support the establishment of a sustainable peace in the
South Caucasus.


The joint statement of Mirzoyan and Rubio said that Armenia
intends to approve and support the establishment of the TRIPP
Development Company, which will be responsible for the development
of the TRIPP project. The company will be granted the right to
implement the project for an initial period of 49 years. Yerevan
plans to offer Washington 74% of the shares of TRIPP Development
Company, while retaining 26%.







On August 8, in Washington, President of the Republic of
Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, US President Donald Trump, and Armenian
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed a joint declaration.


During the meeting, Foreign Minister of the Republic of
