ArmInfo.The South Caucasus remains full of challenges as the Armenian-Azerbaijani relations have not so far been normalized and the nagorno-karabakh conflict remains unsettled, Secrtary of the RA Security Council Armen Grigoryan stated at a meeting of the Committee of Secretaries of the CSTO Security Councils in Yerevan.
Mr Grigoryan presented Armenia's approaches to stabilizing the security situation in the region and neutralizing the current challenges.
He singled out ceasefire violations by Azerbaijan and mentioned the May 28 incident, which claimed the life of an Armenian serviceman.
A regards the unblocking of regional transport links, Mr Grigoryan said that Azerbaijan is raising the issue of the so-called transport corridor via Armenia. In this context, he stressed that no transport corridor can run via Armenia.
None of the trilateral Armenian-Russian-Azerbaijani statements contains a single word about any corridors.
As regards the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Mr Grigoryan pointed out that the conflict remains unsettled and its comprehensive settlement is within the OSCE Minsk Group chairmanship.
Azerbaijan is seeking to secure a corridor via Armenia's territory, which would link Azerbaijan with Nakhichevan. To achieve its goal Azerbaijan is threatening with a new war.
Official Baku is claiming that the Nagorno-Karabakh is settled and the OSCE Minsk Group co- chairmanship is not needed any longer.
