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..
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.
