US proposes to lease 32-kilometer road between Armenia and Azerbaijan for 100 years

YEREVAN, July 14. /ARKA/. US Ambassador to Turkey Thomas Barrack said the United States could lease a 32-kilometer road between Armenia and Azerbaijan for 100 years.

“Türkiye is in the middle of all of it, just like Azerbaijan and Armenia.  They’re arguing over 32 kilometers of road, but this is no joke.  It’s been going on for a decade – 32 kilometers of road (the road would connect Azerbaijan’s mainland with its exclave Nakhchivan through Armenian province of Syunik).   

" So what happens is America comes in and says, “Okay, we’ll take it over.  Give us the 32 kilometers of road on a hundred-year lease, and you can all share it.”  But these tribal points of view do not fade.  We came into a – e pluribus unum.  What does that mean?  It means give up the masses for one.  It exists in America.  It doesn’t exist there.  It’s individual, family, tribe, and then the nation.  But my hope is over time this e pluribus unum will catch on and we can convert from Latin to Arabic, from Arabic to Russian, from Russian to China – maybe we have a shot. ’ Ambassador Baracck told a press conference.-0-
