Armenian PM emphasizes importance of Syunik region for economic development

YEREVAN, November 24. /ARKA/. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stressed the importance of the southern province of Syunik in the context of the country's economic development.
In an online questions and answers session with the citizens Pashinyan said there is no absolute security on the planet today and because of this Armenia needs to form reliable security mechanisms in the new environment.
'I am convinced that the only thing that can ensure 100% peace is a lasting, de jure fixed binding peace. And that is what we want to get," he said.
"Syunik region is one of the most economically active parts of the country today as a substantial part of our imports and exports goes through the Meghri checkpoint," Pashinyan said.
'The Crossroads of Peace project, developed by our government, among other things, shows our vision of how Armenia's transportation systems should develop, which is directly linked to Meghri," he stressed.
The Prime Minister believes that a railroad should pass through Meghri, which will connect the West with the East, including Azerbaijan with its exclave Nakhchivan, Armenian Meghri with Yeraskh and the rest of Armenia, and Armenia with the international railroad network.
The Crossroads of Peace project, unveiled first by Armenian PM Pashinyan at an international conference in Tbilisi, Georgia, aims to enhance communication between Armenia, Turkey, Azerbaijan and Iran through infrastructure development, including roads, railways, pipelines, cables and electricity lines. -0-
