American company AECOM will conduct site surveys for the TRIPP project in Armenia

YEREVAN, February 5. /ARKA/. Under the State Department's Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment Fund, a team from the U.S. engineering consulting firm AECOM visited Armenia to initiate work on a survey of the TRIPP site, the U.S. Embassy in Armenia announced in a Facebook post.

It said this project will provide technical assessments and recommendations for rail and other infrastructure development to support Armenia's long-term economic growth, connectivity, and regional integration.

About the TRIPP Project

On January 13, following a meeting in Washington, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio released a joint statement outlining the framework for the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP).

This document establishes the overall framework for initiating the project, which seeks to create seamless multimodal transit connectivity through Armenia. This includes linking the mainland of Azerbaijan with the Nakhchivan Autonomous Region and incorporating it into the Trans-Caspian Trade Route.

Armenia plans to authorize and support the formation of the TRIPP Development Company. This company will be tasked with developing the TRIPP project and will initially operate under a 49-year term. Armenia aims to offer the United States a 74% ownership stake in the TRIPP Development Company, while retaining 26%. When the agreement is renewed for an additional 50 years, the ownership ratio will be adjusted.-0-
