Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev met in Dublin on November 12, on the sidelines of the ninth European Political Community summit, to discuss the implementation of the Washington agreements, the TRIPP project and further economic cooperation.
According to a statement released by Pashinyan’s administration, the discussions focused on transport connections, trade, border delimitation and confidence-building measures, following the August 8, 2025, Washington summit.
A central topic was the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), including the planning and design of its railway and road infrastructure and prospects for future transit operations.
The meeting comes as Pashinyan’s government advances legislation related to establishing the company responsible for implementing TRIPP. Questions concerning the project’s security arrangements and operational framework remain unresolved.
The two also discussed expanding bilateral trade and connecting the countries’ electricity networks.
According to the statement, approximately 105,000 tonnes of cargo have been transported through Azerbaijan to Armenia since November 2025. The sides described the development of transit connections as a positive step.
Pashinyan and Aliyev also addressed environmental cooperation and the management of shared water resources, welcoming the establishment of working groups on transboundary rivers.
The statement emphasized continued dialogue and implementation of the Washington agreements but announced no new signed agreements or specific deadlines for the projects discussed.
It also made no mention of the Armenian hostages and political prisoners still illegally held in Baku, or the right of return of Armenians forcibly displaced from occupied Artsakh.
