According to unnamed U.S. officials speaking to Reuters, the White House anticipates a framework agreement that establishes a “clear path to peace” and resolves the long-discussed issue of a transit route. “Azerbaijan has requested a road corridor through Armenian territory to connect to Nakhichevan,” the U.S. officials said. Reuters details that under the section of the agreement expected to be signed Friday—negotiated in detail—Armenia plans to grant the United States exclusive long-term rights to develop the transit corridor. Officials also stated that the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan will sign additional documents requiring the dissolution of the OSCE Minsk Group. According to the agency, members of Witkoff’s team have since visited the South Caucasus several times to facilitate the signing of the agreement.
