What happened
The TRIPP project aims to establish a multimodal corridor linking Central Asia to the South Caucasus and Western markets. During the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that the Meghri and Yeraskh railway sections are expected to be restored in the near future. This restoration would create a direct railway connection between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and also establish a link between Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and its northern regions through Armenian territory.
