YEREVAN, April 18. /ARКА/. The implementation of the TRIPP project will establish rail service between Iran and Armenia, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced at a press briefing.

Responding to journalists' questions regarding the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, he expressed confidence in a speedy resolution and, in this context, did not rule out accelerating the implementation of the TRIPP project.

According to him, the TRIPP route envisages the creation of a Persian Gulf-Black Sea railway corridor, which is expected to benefit Iran, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, and the United States.

The Prime Minister emphasized that Armenia views cooperation with the Islamic Republic of Iran as a strategic direction, and the Armenian side intends to expand logistics chains and capabilities through Iranian territory.

“The implementation of the TRIPP project is of great importance, as we will gain a railway connection with Iran, which will significantly simplify the import of goods into Armenia and export from the country,” Pashinyan said.-0-
