U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has hailed the conclusion of the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict and the establishment of the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) as a significant step toward regional stability and economic development.
Speaking before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on the Department of State’s Fiscal Year 2027 budget request, Rubio pointed to the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace agreement as a major diplomatic achievement.
“Armenia and Azerbaijan – that conflict ended. Not only did it end, but it ended with an agreement that I signed the MOU on yesterday, creating a new prosperity route, the TRIPP Route,” Rubio said.
According to the Secretary of State, the new corridor is expected to create substantial economic opportunities for both countries while fully respecting their sovereignty.
“The TRIPP Route will provide extraordinary opportunities for both countries, especially for Armenia, while respecting their sovereignty, to really benefit from that,” Rubio noted.
