US pushes forward trade enclave over Armenia

The US-backed corridor aims to connect Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan through Armenia, following 2023 military gains, promoting regional transit and economic cooperation, officials said.

  • On Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the United States will move forward on building a corridor linking Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan, and Washington will `work on the implementation`.
  • After nearly three decades of separatist control, the Azerbaijani military offensive in 2023 reshaped Nagorno-Karabakh, while Nikol Pashinyan, Armenian Prime Minister, last year assured Iran's clerical government the corridor would remain under Armenian sovereignty.
  • Rubio made the remarks while meeting Armenia's Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan in Washington, stating the corridor would be `great for Armenia` and that TRIPP could open economic activity without questioning sovereignty.
  • The TRIPP project has alarmed Iran, which borders Nakhchivan, as concerns intersect with Pashinyan's prior assurance about Armenian sovereignty over the route.
  • Framing the corridor as a model, Rubio said the U.S. will `work on the implementation` of the TRIPP route linking Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan through Armenia, highlighting U.S. involvement.
