"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.
