Armenian Ambassador to the U.S. Narek Mkrtchyan participated in a roundtable discussion organized by the German Marshall Fund (GMF).

Participants included representatives from academia, civil society, and think tanks.

In his remarks, the Ambassador addressed the Armenia–U.S. cooperation agenda, presenting the already signed memoranda of understanding and the initiatives being implemented within their framework. The role of the TRIPP program in the context of the Crossroads of Peace initiative was highlighted, with details presented on areas of cooperation in artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and energy security, the embassy said in a readout. 

“Regional developments and issues related to the peace process were also addressed,” the embassy said. 

The Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) is a connectivity project in Armenia, envisaged under the U.S.-brokered Armenian-Azerbaijani joint declaration signed in Washington, D.C. The project is expected to unlock strategic economic opportunities, create long-term benefits by promoting infrastructure investment, and enhance regional connectivity. TRIPP is part of the Crossroads of Peace project, and an Armenian-American joint enterprise is expected to develop the route.
