YEREVAN — September 4, 2025.
Representatives from various U.S. districts are expected in Armenia next week to discuss the “Trump Route” (TRIPP/Zangezur Corridor), the Armenian daily Zhoghovurd reported, citing its own sources.
The agenda, according to the paper, spans both technical and political terms, including investment size, priorities, and a start date for construction. Officials have not announced the visit; meetings are expected to be behind closed doors.
TRIPP—formally the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity—emerged from the August 8 Washington track on Armenia–Azerbaijan normalization and envisions a corridor linking Azerbaijan with Nakhchivan through southern Armenia under Armenian law, with a U.S. development role.
Regional and international outlets have since detailed the concept and its political stakes, while some Armenian media note that accompanying bilateral memoranda did not spell out the “Trump Route” by name.
