Deputy Director of the National Security Service of Armenia on the  corridor in Meghri: "There may be railways for the transit of goods.   But not the issue related to the corridor. 

ArmInfo. There is no talk about the "Meghri corridor", and there cannot be, Deputy Director of the National Security Service, Lieutenant General Stepan Melkonyan, told  reporters on April 29.

"They (the Azerbaijani authorities - ed.) can talk about a lot. There  is no question of a corridor, " Melkonyan assured. He recalled that  the commission headed by the Deputy Prime Ministers deals with  possible logistics routes, but not the issue related to the corridor.   "There may be railways for the transit of goods. But not the issues  related to the corridors, " Melkonyan said.

Melkonyan also said that there is a commission under the auspices of  the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which deals with the issue of  defining borders. They explore the maps of different years, combining  with them the interests of Armenia for the future delimitation.

At the same time, Melkonyan refrained from specifying the exact time  frame for clarifying the borders, since it is difficult to talk about  it at this stage, and largely depends on the behavior of neighbors.   As the Lieutenant General pointed out, the armed forces of Azerbaijan  and Armenia are still located along the entire border. "The line is  completely unregulated.

Today we have a line of 520 km long, but it is not a border, but a  line on which we are stationed just as it was. When the  military-political situation calms down, it will be possible to  create a bilateral commission to discuss this issue, and then we will  move on to delimitation and demarcation. Then it will be possible to  clarify our border, border engineering structures, " he explained.

At the same time, referring to the creation of an inter-border line  between the two countries, the Deputy Director of the National  Security Council noted that each country will create an inter-border  line at the expense of its territory.
