Trump Road actually at practical stage - minister 

ArmInfo.  Trump Road has actually reached the practical stage. This was reported by Economy Minister Gevorg Parpoyan in an interview with the state agency  Armenpress.

He noted that visits of various delegations, including American and  Turkish ones, are expected in the coming days. The Minister also  touched upon the visit to Armenia of the Turkish government's special  representative for Armenian-Turkish relations, Serdar Kilic. "Never  in the history of Armenia has there been such a thing as a delegation  from Turkey arriving in Armenia, and an American delegation  presenting a large investment project for the construction of a  railway and a road through the territory of Armenia.  That is, in  fact, we have reached the practical stage," Parpoyan noted.

As a result of the project's implementation, according to him,  Armenia will become an international transport hub. In addition to  the economic effect, the state will also receive other benefits. In  particular, referring to the results of the study, the Minister noted  that as a result of unblocking the roads, the prices of imported  goods, which are currently expensive due to logistical problems, will  decrease. "These are all important issues that need to be addressed,"  he emphasized.

Recall that in early August, during a trilateral meeting in  Washington, Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol  Pashinyan, President of the United States of America Donald Trump and  President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev signed a joint  declaration.

This document also provides for the launch of the Trump Route for  International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) communications program in  the Republic of Armenia.

"We reaffirmed the importance of opening communications between the  two countries for domestic, bilateral and international  transportation based on respect for the sovereignty, territorial  integrity and jurisdiction of states in order to promote peace,  stability and prosperity in the region and its environs. These  efforts will include unimpeded communication between the main part of  the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic  through the territory of the Republic of Armenia, with mutual benefit  from international and internal communications for the Republic of  Armenia," the declaration says.
