Aliyev and Pashinyan Discuss Road Design for TRIPP Route
The President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, and the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, discussed the preparation of railway and road sections for the TRIPP route during a meeting in Dublin.
The talks took place on November 12 on the sidelines of the ninth summit of the European Political Community. The leaders discussed how to develop transit and trade, continue border delimitation, and strengthen trust between the two countries. These issues are being considered within the framework of the Washington Declaration, signed in August 2025.
TRIPP stands for "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity." The meeting addressed the planning and design of railway and road sections, as well as the prospects for freight transit along the route. No timelines for the start of construction or the launch of traffic were specified in the reports on the meeting.
Separately, Aliyev and Pashinyan discussed the upcoming connection of the two countries' power grids and cooperation on transboundary water resources. They welcomed the creation of working groups for managing shared rivers and confirmed their intention to continue negotiations.
