BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 7. The Trump Route
for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) could significantly
enhance regional connectivity, an EU-funded meta-analysis stated,
Trend
reports.
"Restoring these connections would strengthen economic
cooperation, stimulate cross-border trade, and improve the
resilience and diversification of the corridor by adding new
routing options. Although more detailed economic impact studies are
still ongoing, experts point out that TRIPP could cut the travel
time by up to 25% compared to the traditional Baku-Tbilisi-Kars
route," the study says.
The report highlights that regional players are rolling up their
sleeves to kickstart and enhance transport connections between
Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Türkiye. These efforts show a variety of
governance styles and strategic goals, but together they point to a
growing movement toward renewed connectivity.
On August 8, 2025, following the results of a trilateral meeting
with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington, President of
Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol
Pashinyan signed a joint declaration on ensuring peace between Baku
and Yerevan and establishing transport links between the main part
of Azerbaijan and its Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. This project
was named the Trump Route for International Peace and
Prosperity.
