Yerevan has no unilateral obligations regarding the opening of communications-MFA

YEREVAN, March 19. /ARКА/. The Armenian Foreign Ministry responded to Azerbaijan's accusations of failure to fulfill obligations on reopening regional connections and offering complex and long routes for transport link between Azerbaijan’s western regions and Nakhchivan

" Armenia doesn’t have unilateral obligations in the issue of opening regional economic and transport connections. The separate agenda of the transport connection between Azerbaijan’s western regions and Nakhchivan is part of a bigger agenda of unblocking regional transport and economic ties, which also includes the unblocking of the Republic of Armenia," Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ani Badalyan said in an interview with Armenpress.

She recalled that Armenia proposed to launch Zangelan-Meghri-Ordubad-Yeraskh railway cargo transportation at the first stage.

"This is the shortest possible railway between Zangelan and Ordubad. Regarding the roads, we have the kind of roads and terrain that we have and to accuse us of being a mountainous country would be unserious, to say the least," Badalyan said.

Earlier, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan confirmed his readiness to open all communications for Azerbaijan.
