“The Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity, or the TRIPP, is a revolutionary project that few people thought was possible before August 8. Thanks to the efforts of President Trump, the TRIPP was a key element that helped overcome obstacles, we believe, to the peace agreement being initialed,” Amy Carlon, U.S. Chargé d’Affaires in Azerbaijan, told AZERTAC.

“So I’d like to underscore that this is a historic agreement. We envision TRIPP as a fully multimodal transit corridor that connects the main part of Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan for the first time in 30 years. This will enable both international and interstate connectivity and will have a massive economic impact on the entire region as well as on both countries.

“We believe that the TRIPP has the potential to truly supercharge regional connectivity and help Azerbaijan fulfill its vision of becoming a hub for the region, enabling improved transit between Central Asia and Western European countries,” the U.S. Chargé d’Affaires underscored.
