Russia’s involvement in the TRIPP project is not being discussed. Vice speaker of the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia, Ruben Rubinyan, told this to reporters at the NA Tuesday, as he commented on reports from Russia that Moscow is ready to discuss with Yerevan a Russian participation in the TRIPP route.

“We [i.e. Armenia] are glad that they [i.e. Russia] are ready to have a discussion with us. If you want, I can say it 160 times: there are no such discussions; I do not answer hypothetical questions,” added the vice speaker of the Armenian NA.
