Can the proposed Trump Route (TRIPP) through Armenia’s south bring lasting peace and prosperity to the South Caucasus? Anahide Pilibossian, Vice President of the Yerevan-based APRI Institute, discusses the think tank’s new report on the route. She argues that TRIPP is a necessary but insufficient step toward regional stability without broader border openings between Armenia, Turkey, and Azerbaijan. The conversation explores the opportunities and risks regional connectivity presents for Armenia, why Ankara continues to defer to Baku on normalization with Yerevan, and why Armenia may eventually need to clarify its ambiguous foreign policy as it seeks to balance relations between Russia and the West.
