ArmInfo.he construction work of a new route to the Lachin Corridor has already started. Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructures of the Republic of Armenia Gnel Sanosyan stated this to journalists on August 4.
<The equipment is working, the road is being built. We have divided the process into three parts, we are actively working. Until spring, the construction of the road will be completed," Sanosyan said.
When asked whether repairs are being carried out on the road to the Turkish border, the minister replied: "No. There is no such process."
Earlier, Azerbaijan, through the command of the Russian peacekeeping forces, submitted its demand to organize communication with Armenia through a different route instead of the Lachin corridor. Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia Armen Grigoryan stated that this demand is not legitimate. He recalled that: "Point 6th of the 2020 trilateral statement of the Armenian Prime Minister, the Russian President and the President of Azerbaijan, which defines issues relating to the creation and activity of the Lachin corridor connecting Nagorno Karabakh with Armenia, says the following: "The Parties (Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan) have agreed that a plan for the construction of a new route along the Lachin corridor shall be determined within the next three years, providing communication between Nagorno Karabakh and Armenia, with the subsequent redeployment of Russian peacekeeping troops to protect this route". During this period, of course, some work has been done on this direction, but as of this moment there is no agreed plan. In any case, Armenia has not approved any plan, therefore, Azerbaijan's demand is not legitimate," he stated.
