I wonder how this will play out in the Armenian legislature since it still requires approval there. Potential consequences to opposition scuttling the treaty. Also would be interesting to know if Armenian officials have lobbied for a security guarantee from the US, if that was ever a possibility..
I'm beginning to see a pattern with Trump: Make business deals, not war. A business deal was also involved with the peace agreement between Thailand and Cambodia. This is definitely a new approach and it seems very positive. Thanks for this contribution. These areas, as you point out, are off most Americans radar, but apparently not Trump's. I appreciate The Middle East Uncovered for coverage that's hard to find elsewhere but IMPORTANT.
The TRIPP plan sound great in principle. Trump is such an optimist!
According to Wikipedia (FWIW) the area has been rife with national and sectarian conflict and corruption for decades.
I pray that the TRIPP plan brings some stability and broad economic benefit for the region but I looks there may significant armed resistance and very tough sledding to me. Hopefully, the US doesn't become embroiled in yet another thankless Middle East rodeo costing us billions and blood.
