Mher Grigoryan insists: The issue of providing a corridor through the  territory of Armenia is not being discussed

ArmInfo.Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia Mher Grigoryan continues to insist that the issue of providing a corridor through the territory of the Republic of  Armenia to Azerbaijan is not discussed within the framework of the  trilateral working group at the level of deputy prime ministers.

So, on September 20, in an interview with journalists on the  sidelines of the Armenian Business Forum, Mher Grigoryan assured that  the issues that he repeatedly spoke about are being discussed at the  Armenia- Russia-Azerbaijan trilateral platform: they relate to  possible infrastructure solutions and legal adjustments to these  decisions, which, if will be possible, will be accepted.

"Of course, the issue of providing a corridor is not being discussed.  It is about performing customs, border, phytosanitary and other  control functions," Grigoryan stressed.

To the journalist's remark that the Armenian side has repeatedly  stated that without the withdrawal of Azerbaijani troops from the  territory of Armenia, without the return of the Armenian captives  held by Baku to their homeland, will not resume negotiations, but in  fact negotiations are underway, Mher Grigoryan expressed his  conviction that in any case it is necessary to conduct dialogue.

"I think we need to talk, we need to negotiate in any case. And any  chance that stabilizes the situation in the region, brings peace to  the region, must be used," he expressed his conviction.

Touching upon the issue of infrastructures in the region, Grigoryan  stated that there are more visible solutions on the part of the  railway, because here we are mainly talking about the restoration of  infrastructures that once existed and operated. "In this sense,  technical solutions are more noticeable here, we are more focused on  legal solutions. On the part of roads, the issue of technical  solutions to infrastructures is more discussed," he summed up.

To recall, the agreement on unblocking regional communications was  reached on January 11 this year at a meeting in Moscow of the leaders  of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. Then, for these purposes, it was  decided to create a working group at the level of deputy prime  ministers of the three countries, which will focus on establishing  transport and economic ties in the region. The last, seventh meeting  of the group was held in August this year.
