The United States pledged on Tuesday to move forward with Armenia on a planned corridor connecting parts of rival Azerbaijan, during a lightning visit by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Rubio, returning from a four-day trip to India, met his Armenian counterpart during a refuelling stop in the former Soviet republic, which has long been allied with Moscow but has sought closer relations with the West.
President Donald Trump's administration has been working on a road-and-rail corridor initiative named after him, the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), that would run through Armenia and connect Azerbaijan with its Nakhchivan exclave, cut off from Armenian territory.
