BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 9. “This is truly a historic day and a success for our countries and our region. The world will benefit from this as well, as it signifies a region living in peace and a more just world,” said Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan during a joint press conference in Washington with President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and U.S. President Donald Trump.
"Allow me to highlight the agreement on opening transport communications in the region based on the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity and jurisdiction. I'm particularly thrilled that, together with the US, Armenia, will work to bring to life the TRIPP Trump Route for Peace and Prosperity – connectivity project that will unlock the entire region. TRIPP will unlock strategic economic opportunities that will create long term benefits. It will promote infrastructure investment, enhanced regional connectivity and strengthen US leadership as a champion of conflict resolution.
I want to thank President Trump and his team for brokering this game-changing outcome between Armenia and Azerbaijan. This is a great deal we've achieved today. This is a success for our countries and for our region and the success for the world, because a more peaceful region means a safer world. This is peace through strength in a nutshell," he said.
