Sputnik. According to Pashinyan, the implementation of the TRIP project directly serves Iran's interests.
Armenia wants the TRIPP project to be realized as soon as possible and predicts that practical steps will be taken this autumn. This was stated by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan during a press briefing with journalists after the government meeting today.
“The American side wants this too. Now we just need to ensure that the procedures are normal, and we hope that the first works will be carried out on the ground in the autumn,” said Pashinyan.
In response to the remark that Iran's ambassador to Armenia, Khalil Shirgholami, has again spoken about the possible risks for Iran in case of the implementation of TRIP, Pashinyan responded by saying that the concerns need to be clearly articulated.
It should be noted that yesterday, during a press conference in Armenia, Iran's ambassador Khalil Shirgholami stated that a mechanism should be developed that would allow Armenia to implement the unblocking program, while simultaneously managing the possible risks and threats to Iran in the presence of the USA.
“We need to articulate what the concerns are; we are confident that we will alleviate all concerns. We will continue to work with all our partners: the Islamic Republic of Iran, Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, the EU, and Central Asian countries. We understand that this project is global and its value is increasing,” continued Nikol Pashinyan.
The Prime Minister of Armenia is confident that the “Trump Road” project will also be beneficial for neighboring Iran.
“This is not within the framework of this program, but the railway between the Persian Gulf and the Black Sea will be opened in this process. The trade relations between Armenia and Iran will significantly expand. The trade relations of the Islamic Republic of Iran will be significantly expanded. In other words, taking these details into account, the implementation of the TRIP project directly serves the interests of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” emphasized Pashinyan.
