“Pressing” in the program French-Armenian Raffi-Philippe Kalfayan, doctor of international law at Paris-Panthéon-Assas University, lawyer, former secretary general of the International Federation of Human Rights also spoke about the TRIPP project perspective.

«Clearly, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio came to support Pashinyan. The agreement, which was initialed and then signed, is the third agreement between the Armenian and American parties (first in August, then in January). The signed agreement reminds again under what conditions the TRIPP project can be implemented, and none of them have been met so far, and the project is still up in the air. Iran does not participate in it, Russia does not, who is left, Azerbaijan and Turkey,” said the international law expert.

To the question: what is the geography of the TRIPP project and what area does it cover, Raffi-Filipp Kalfayan answered that it is not yet clear.

“They say that you should give us that area, but they don’t say which area. Moreover, they say that Armenia should give that territory without any obstacles. They want to say that no person or company can claim that area, they should free it and hand it over, they should compensate the residents and remove them from that area. That black matter will remain on Armenia. they won’t even give money…

If TRIPP is to operate under American law, what other sovereignty are we talking about? The TRIPP agreement cannot be superior to the Constitution of Armenia, if it is not yet an international agreement, and it can become such only if the CP had a 2/3 constitutional majority, which it does not have. Therefore, TRIPP cannot be transformed into an international treaty. This was the reason why there were no smiles on the faces of Nikol Pashinyan and CP members on the election night,” said Raffi-Filip Kalfayan.
