It is noted that the declaration of the leaders of Armenia and  Azerbaijan following the meeting in the White House emphasizes the  need to continue further actions to achieve the signature and final  ratification of the agreement.  The parties also reaffirmed the  importance of the opening of communications between the two countries  for the two countries for intra-state,  bilateral and international  transportation for the promotion of peace, stability and prosperity  in the region and its neighborhood on the basis of respect for the  sovereignty, territorial integrity and jurisdiction of the States.  These efforts are to include unimpeded  connectivity between the main  part  of Azerbaijan and the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic through  Armenia.

< The Republic of Armenia will work with the United States of America   and mutually determined third parties, to set forth a framework for  the "Trump International Route for Peace and Prosperity" (TRIPP)  connectivity project in  the territory of the Republic of Armenia. We  confirm our determination to pursue efforts in good faith to achieve  this goal in the most expeditious manner>,  the declaration says.   The parties also recognize the need to chart a course for a bright  future not bound by the conflict of the past. < The conditions have  been created for our nations to finally embark on building good  neighborly relations on the basis of the inviolability of  international borders and the inadmissibility of the use of force for  the acquisition of territory after the conflict that brought immense  human suffering. This reality, which is not and should never be  subject to revision, paves the way for closing the chapter of enmity  between our two nations. We resolutely reject and exclude any attempt  of revenge, now and in the future,>, the declaration says.

, US President Donald Trump  said following the meeting. According to him, Armenia is establishing  an exclusive partnership with the United States to develop a  transport corridor, the infrastructure of which will be developed by  American organizations.

According to political analyst Hayk Khalatyan, the events that  unfolded in the White House are a complete fiasco for the Armenian  side, which was quite expected. The winners are Azerbaijan, Turkiye  and the United States. Aliyev gained a road through Syunik, the  dissolution of the OSCE Minsk Group,  and the US refusal of the 907  amendment. Trump received another in his piggy bank for  acquiring the Nobel Peace Prize.

And what did Armenia get, - the analyst asks? Did they secure  communications through Azerbaijan to Russia and Iran - no. Did they  establish  the principle of reciprocity in the matter of  communications - no.  Did they secure the release of prisoners - no.
