Armenia is ready to ensure the transit of goods between Turkey and Azerbaijan through its territory

Armenia is ready to immediately open its territory to the transit of goods between Turkey and Azerbaijan. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this, emphasizing the importance of this step for restoring ties and strengthening peace in the region.

Speaking at a panel discussion in Berlin dedicated to Armenia's approaches to peace, regional connectivity, and relations with the EU, Pashinyan also welcomed Azerbaijan's recent lifting of restrictions on the transit of goods to Armenia, calling it a "historic event." In the context of regional connectivity, the prime minister noted the significance of the Trump Route project for the Middle Corridor. He believed this project could play a key role in ensuring unimpeded communication between Europe, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia. Pashinyan expressed optimism about the launch of the initiative next year, which, in his view, will strengthen interconnections and contribute to peace and stability in the region. The politician also added that a "TRIPP Company" would be registered in Armenia to implement the "Trump Route." According to him, this joint Armenian-American venture would have the right to develop railways, roads, oil and gas pipelines, and fiber-optic cables.
