The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs plans to examine the details of the so-called “Trump Route” — the Zangezur Corridor project that would pass through Armenia.
According to Russian media, Alexey Fadeev, Deputy Director of the ministry’s Press and Information Department, made the announcement at a briefing today.
“As for the ‘Trump Route,’ we have reserved our position. The Russian Foreign Ministry will study the project’s details, which, incidentally, have not yet been made public. The involvement of extra-regional actors in the South Caucasus should advance the peace agenda rather than create new problems or dividing lines,” Fadeev said.
He stressed that any decisions on unblocking regional transport links must take into account Armenia’s membership in the Eurasian Economic Union and the presence of Russian border guards in Armenia’s Syunik Province.
