Armenia is providing the U.S. with exclusive development rights through a new transit corridor called the "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP)." This deal, viewed as a setback for Russian President Vladimir Putin, reflects the ongoing energy conflicts in the region involving Azerbaijan and Armenia, both of which gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. The two nations have been in conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, with support from Armenia since the late 1980s. Turkey supports the agreement for boosting energy exports as U.S. officials hope it aids Azerbaijan's entry into the Abraham Accords.
As part of the deal, Armenia says it will provide the U.S. with exclusive development rights through a transit corridor to be named the "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP)."
