ArmInfo. Armenia seeks to summarize the process of normalizing relations with Azerbaijan. Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan stated this on January 30 at a joint press conference with his Georgian counterpart Maka Bochorishvili.
"We seek to summarize the process of normalizing relations with Azerbaijan. The government's agenda is unchanged: we are committed to the peace agenda. This concerns both the peace treaty and the unblocking of transport communications, delimitation and demarcation of the border," the Armenian Foreign Minister noted.
Touching upon the unblocking of transport communications in the region, Mirzoyan recalled the immutability of official Yerevan's position on this issue. "Armenia's position has long been known. We promote the idea of unblocking regional communications. We ourselves have made quite constructive proposals to Azerbaijan and expect a positive reaction from the Azerbaijani side. We are confident that this unblocking of communications, in the form in which we present it, will bring serious economic benefits to the region - Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. They are also reflected in our project "Crossroads of the World", - the head of the Armenian Foreign Ministry noted.
According to him, unblocking should take place on the basis of territorial integrity, sovereignty and jurisdiction of those countries through which these communications will take place.
"It is clear that the 21st century is a century when everyone strives to liberalize logistics and communications. And we, with Azerbaijan, when this happens, naturally see some simplified procedures that can be applied, and from which both we and Azerbaijan will benefit. I will not say anything new, our position remains unchanged," the Armenian minister summarized.
Azerbaijan is trying to get an extraterritorial corridor from Armenia through the Syunik region. At the same time, it uses the threat of force to achieve this goal.
