The claim that the TRIPP project is in the interest of Armenia is a myth. International affairs expert Grigori Balasanyan said this during a debate on November 9.
He noted that based on the legal basis, the statement of November 9, 2020 continues to be valid, expressing confidence that this document is the best that the Armenian side can receive as a result of the 44-day war, since the President of Azerbaijan agreed to sign a document based on which he did not gain control over all of Nagorno-Karabakh.
"Iran had no objections to the statement of November 9, 2020, because it was clear about the project, contrary to TRIPP. Regarding TRIPP, international control and the presence of foreign forces are at least unclear to Iran and Russia. In the case of the statement of November 9, 2020, everything would have happened within the framework of the CSTO, the Russian control would have been carried out according to the current border guards in the car, and the Russian control would have been carried out on the spot. As for TRIPP, they say there will be electronic systems without the participation of people, which is worrying for both Iran and Russia, because it is the external border of the Commonwealth of Nations and the CSTO, he stressed.
According to him, unlike TRIPP, no geopolitical actor has made any comment regarding the statement of November 9, 2020. The political scientist expressed the belief that a conflict on this issue could have been avoided in the framework of the statement of November 9, 2020, with the participation of the US, but not under its control, as in the case of TRIPP, aid to Iran would have been avoided.
Grigory Blasnian noted that the severance of economic ties with Russia will have serious consequences, including in terms of agricultural exports and in terms of transfers worth 3 billion dollars a year.
