Baku responds to Nikol Pashinyan

ArmInfo. Baku responded to the proposals of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan on communications.

" Armenia should cease fake pretexts to evade from its commitments  under Trilateral Statement of Nov 2020 to link auto/railroads through  Zangazur corridor. To suggest 3 unrealistic options of check points  for connectivity ignoring 20 months-long discussions is not a good  policy," the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said on Twitter, reacting  to the RA Prime Minister's tweet.

It should be noted that the tripartite statement dated November 9,  2020 does not use such terms as a corridor, which today Azerbaijan is  trying to push through by force.

Today, the RA Prime Minister stated that Yerevan is waiting for a  positive reaction from Baku to the proposal to open border  checkpoints. " A draft decision of Armenian Government on opening of  3 checkpoints on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border to provide  connection between eastern Azerbaijan & Nakhchivan is being formally  circulated for several months. Government of Armenia is waiting for  positive reaction from Azerbaijan," he wrote on Twitter.  Earlier, in  August of this year, the National Security Service (NSS) launched a  project for the installation of three new checkpoints on the  Armenian-Azerbaijani border. According to the project, the  checkpoints will be located from the Sotk community of the  Gegharkunik region to the state border of the Republic of Armenia, on  the M11 highway, as noted in the project, from the Azerbaijani side  towards Karvachar (Kelbajar), in the Yeraskh community of the Ararat  region - towards Sadarak, at about 7, 5 kilometers south of the  Karahunj community of Syunik region on the M2 highway - towards  Sanasar (Gubadli).
