Deputy Prime Minister: Zangezur Corridor is a "red" line for Armenia

ArmInfo. Armenia has sent new proposals to Azerbaijan regarding the draft peace treaty, but  given the lack of reaction from Baku, there is no need to disclose the initiatives of the Armenian side. Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Mher Grigoryan told journalists on December 18.

According to him, the issue of the so-called Zangezur Corridor is  beyond discussion. "We have repeated many times that there are "red"  lines, which are simply impossible to cross. I do not want even to  discuss or use this term. This simply will not happen. And if this  issue is constantly raised by Baku and Ankara, then we continuously  repeat that the Republic of Armenia wants and is ready to unblock the  transportation and economic ties of the region under very simple, yet  very dogmatic rules: under Armenia's sovereignty and jurisdiction,"  the Deputy Prime Minister said.  Speaking about the next meeting of  representatives of the border delimitation commissions, Mher  Grigoryan noted that a date hasn't been agreed upon yet. "But I think  that the meeting will take place in the near future, because there  was an agreement  that we should meet and continue the work once the  regulation is in effect," the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

When asked if Armenia is ready to submit proposals for the liberation  of the territories seized by Azerbaijan, Mher Grigoryan noted that  after each meeting of the commission representatives, official  statements are issued presenting the results as objectively as  possible. "We have agreed with the Azerbaijani side that both parties  will refrain from making comments beyond the joint statements"
