Russian Foreign Ministry to study Trump's Road project through Armenia's Syunik region

Russia will study the details of the Trump Roads project through the Syunik region of Armenia, proposed by US President Donald Trump. This was announced on August 13 by the Deputy Director of the Department of Information and Press Russian Foreign Ministry Alexey Fadeev.

"The Russian Foreign Ministry will study the details of the project, which, by the way, has not yet been made public," he said during a briefing.

Fadeev noted that the extra-regional forces that have joined the settlement of the situation in the South Caucasus should promote a peaceful agenda, they should not create new dividing lines. Armenia's membership in the EAEU and the presence of Russian border guards in the Syunik region should also be taken into account.

"They [these factors] should be taken into account when making decisions on unblocking transport communications in the region," concluded Fadeev.
