The narrative about the corridor through  Armenia had one goal: to  deploy Russian Armed Forces along this corridor - Alen Simonyan

ArmInfo. The goal was to place the Russian Armed Forces along this corridor to have control over it. This was stated by the speaker of the Armenian parliament, Alen Simonyan, on February 11 during a conversation with journalists, while touching on the <etiology> of the concept of a <corridor> in  the south of Armenia that would link Nakhichevan with Azerbaijan.

According to Simonyan, the <corridor logic> was and remains  unacceptable for Armenia. Meanwhile, Azerbaijan does not reject it,  since this name has already entered their discourse. <Whatever the  road may be, whether it is the best option in our opinion or the  worst in their (Azerbaijan) opinion, they will refer to it as a  <corridor>. Even if there are Armenian customs officers present, and  even if there are zero benefits for them, in political terms they  will still call the road  a corridor. Let's fix this,> he said.

When asked if Baku really demands a <corridor>, the speaker of the RA  National Assembly responded that Azerbaijan's interpretation of this  concept is constantly changing. <Discussions about the corridor  initially revolved around the idea of deploying Russian Armed Forces  to control it,> he clarified.

Article 9 of the Trilateral Statement November 9, 2020 mandates  unblocking all economic and transport links in the region and  requires  Armenia to ensure safe transport  between the western  regions of Azerbaijan and the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic to allow  unhindered movement of people vehicles and cargo in both directions.  The Border Service of Russia's FSB is tasked with overseeing this  transport communications. By agreement of the Parties, the  construction of new transport links connecting the Nakhchivan  Autonomous Republic with the western regions of Azerbaijan will be  guaranteed. According to Alen Simonyan, video cameras may also be  used to oversee the road.  <This document  only refers to one  corridor - Lachin,> he said, emphasizing that Armenia has never  agreed to provide Azerbaijan with an extraterritorial corridor.

It should be noted that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has previously  stated on numerous occasions:  <Article 9 of the trilateral statement  does not mention anything about the Russian Federation having the  ability to control anything on our territory. Not to mention the fact  that Russia and Azerbaijan have disregarded and threw out the  remaining points (statements). How can one point be effective when  the others are not. Referring to point 9 of the statement  is no  longer relevant, as Azerbaijan and Russia have violated their  obligations under other points.>
