The following quote by the Ambassador of the Republic of Armenia to the United States, Narek Mkrtchyan, was also published on the same platform:
"On August 8, 2025, President Trump brokered a historic peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan, unveiling the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) as part of the Armenia Crossroads of Peace project. This key initiative opens new pathways for communication, trade, and connectivity, fostering stability, growth, and prosperity across the South Caucasus and beyond, into Central Asia and Europe. Vice President Vance's February 2026 visit advanced TRIPP's implementation and agreements on AI, semiconductors, energy, defense, and capacity building, unveiling multi-billion-dollar projects in AI and nuclear energy. As Armenia rapidly emerges as a regional AI hub and key U.S. partner, TRIPP positions the region at the forefront of economic prosperity, innovation, and unprecedented opportunity."
