Normalization of relations between Baku and Yerevan became the topic of a pilot meeting of NGO representatives from the two countries.

"Trump Route," TRIPP is a transportation corridor project Between Azerbaijan and Nakhichevan through Armenian territory, established with the mediation and exclusive rights of the United States for 99 years. It became a key element of the peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, signed in August 2025 in Washington with the participation of President Donald Trump.

"It is quite possible that the discussion (was) about the connection between the signing of the peace treaty and amendments to the Armenian constitution. This is a precondition that Baku is putting forward for signing the peace treaty," JAMnews quotes political scientist Robert Ghevondyan. He emphasized that this is the first attempt to organize a meeting of experts not in a third country, but in Armenia or Azerbaijan.

Ghevondyan does not share the opinion that all Azerbaijani experts advocating for peace are in prison. "There are people in Azerbaijan who closely cooperate with the authorities, but at the same time talk about peace and developing relations with Armenia. We assume these people have this opportunity, or the authorities allow them to talk about it. And we can discuss issues with them that will allow us to further advise our authorities on the progress of Armenian-Azerbaijani processes, and they will advise them," the political scientist noted. "Something unprecedented happened yesterday: wheat supplies to Armenia through Azerbaijan were announced," Gevondyan said. He believes further progress is possible in unblocking infrastructure, border delimitation and demarcation, and economic cooperation between the two countries. Azerbaijani analysts noted in September that Azerbaijan is geographically located along transport corridors that China and India are interested in, assessing Baku's prospects for cooperation with BRICS. "Against the backdrop of declining oil production and the prospect of a reduction in fossil fuel consumption in Europe, Azerbaijan urgently needs alternative sources of income. An excellent opportunity for this is the use of transit opportunities, given the passage of global transport corridors through Azerbaijan... Attracting large countries such as Russia, China, and India to transport goods through Azerbaijan along the North-South and East-West routes will turn the country into a major transport hub," said Togrul Juvarli, a member of the Azerbaijan National Public Committee on European Integration.
