Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturyan has signed a law ratifying the framework agreement between Armenia and the United States on the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), paving the way for further work on the regional transport project.

The agreement establishes the framework for cooperation between Yerevan and Washington on implementing the initiative, according to president.am.

The Armenian National Assembly approved the ratification on October 28. A total of 63 lawmakers voted in favor, while 32 opposed the bill.

The TRIPP project envisages developing transport links through Armenia’s Syunik region, including a route connecting mainland Azerbaijan with the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.

The initiative was part of the agreements reached in Washington, D.C., on August 8, 2025, with the participation of US President Donald Trump, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

The framework agreement sets out the basis for bilateral cooperation on the project. Its practical implementation will require further work on infrastructure, technical arrangements, border procedures and customs issues.

Khachaturyan’s signature completes Armenia’s domestic ratification process, establishing the legal basis for the next stages of the project.

Earlier, the United States, Azerbaijan and Armenia launched trilateral technical planning groups to advance the implementation of TRIPP.
