BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 8. The Washington
summit, held on August 8, 2025, broke the deadlock for Armenia and
opened up new prospects for the country that must be seized.


This was stated by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in
his address marking the first anniversary of the trilateral summit
held in Washington.


At the same time, he emphasized that the process of implementing
the peace agenda is not yet complete.


“Until August 8, 2025, our country was at an impasse, but after
August 8, boundless prospects opened up before us. Whether we take
advantage of them or not depends on our collective will,” the prime
minister said.


According to Pashinyan, one of the key outcomes of the
Washington Peace Summit was the “Trump Route for International
Peace and Prosperity” (TRIPP) project.







“This project will not only put an end to the blockade of
Armenia in the near future and serve as the foundation for the
economies of Armenia and the region, but it will also help Armenia
and Azerbaijan begin to view each other not as obstacles, but as
partners and neighbors. “We will soon begin the practical
implementation of the TRIPP project, and this will be a major
regional and international event,” he noted.


On August 8, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham
