[Yerevan] - CDM has reported on Armenian local apprehension regarding the now agreed-to 'Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity' being established in southern Armenia, in terms of giving too much to Muslim neighbors without getting transit rights in return, and also the risk to U.S. contractors needed to develop the corridor.
Will America Participate In Carving Up Christian Armenia For The Turks?
We also mentioned this concern on our recent hit on Steve Bannon's War Room.
We also described the 'soft' U.S. security guarantee the corridor would provide to Christian Armenia.
We have also reported on Iranian rage at being cancelled from influence in the Southern Caucasus.
Today, the Iranian international affairs advisor to the Supreme Leader said the corridor would lead to American mercenary graves in the region.
Iran says it will block the US-backed Caucasus corridor with or without Russia, says Ali Akbar Velayati, senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader.
He called the plan a threat to Armenia’s territorial integrity and South Caucasus security, comparing Trump’s “lease” idea to renting the Panama Canal.
The Russian Foreign Ministry released the following:
The current phase of normalizing relations between Yerevan and Baku began with the direct participation and leading role of Russia.
▪️The trilateral agreements involving Russia, which none of the parties have renounced, remain relevant. The involvement of extraregional players should contribute to strengthening the peace agenda, said the ministry's official representative Maria Zakharova.
▪️The meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders in the US deserves positive assessment; we hope it will help advance the peace agenda. Moscow will analyze the US statements during that meeting concerning the unblocking of regional communications.
▪️It is also important to consider Armenia's factor of joining the EAEU, particularly regarding the organization of transit freight transportation through Armenian territory. The diplomat recalled that the border between Armenia and Iran is guarded by Russian border guards, stationed according to the 1992 interstate agreement.
