As with any company, shares may be alienated, sold, donated, separated, or reorganized, but such actions cannot take place without the consent of the Republic of Armenia. Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan stated this at a press conference held in the United States, commenting on the agreements reached between Armenia and the United States regarding TRIPP.
“The document clearly states that in the event of such developments and any change in final ownership, prior consent from the governments of Armenia and the United States is required.
In other words, such a thing cannot happen without Armenia’s consent. We have heard conspiracy theories and interpretations suggesting that now a certain percentage of shares will be agreed to be divided between the United States and Armenia, then the company will begin operations, and later at some stage—one month later, one week later, one year later, or 10 years later—without our knowledge and against our will, part of the shares could be sold to this or that country.
We are now clearly fixing that such a thing is excluded from happening without our consent. That would constitute a breach of contract and therefore cannot occur,” he said.
It should be recalled that on January 13, Armenia's Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan held a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Later, Armenia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs published a joint statement on the publication of the Armenia–U.S. implementation framework for the “Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity” (TRIPP) project, the text of which was disseminated by the governments of the Republic of Armenia and the United States of America.
