Armenia has reiterated its political commitment to ensuring unimpeded transport links between Azerbaijan’s main territory and the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, signalling potential progress on one of the most sensitive issues in regional negotiations.
Speaking at a cabinet session of the Armenian government, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan referred to a joint Armenia–United States statement on the implementation of the TRIPP framework, describing it as a key pillar in addressing regional transport connectivity.
According to Pashinyan, the framework resolves fundamental principles at a conceptual level and shifts the peace process from political declarations to practical implementation.
He underlined that the agreement provides a structured basis for reopening transport routes, which have long been a point of contention between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Pashinyan said the framework helps clarify approaches to sovereignty, jurisdiction and security, thereby reducing ambiguity surrounding the proposed links.
The prime minister stressed the importance of moving swiftly from political commitments to action. He called for the rapid formalisation of the arrangements through legally binding agreements, alongside tangible steps on the ground to ensure implementation.
Unblocking regional transport links, particularly between mainland Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan, is widely seen as a crucial confidence-building measure with broader implications for regional stability, trade and connectivity in the South Caucasus.
Observers note that progress in this area could also contribute to advancing a comprehensive peace settlement between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
