Expert on Azerbaijani studies on  extraterritorial corridor through  Syunik: how many times can  "red line" become yellow or green?

ArmInfo.  There is one uncomfortable question: how many times can a situation declared as a "red line" be changed to become yellow or green. This question was  raised by Tatevik Hayrapetyan, expert on Azerbaijani studies,  in  light of today's statement by Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia  Mnatsakan Safaryan on the possibility of transferring the route  through Syunik under external management if all procedures are  followed.

In this regard, Hayrapetyan noted that on September 18, 2024, Prime  Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that "Armenia wants and is ready to  provide a corridor for Azerbaijan on the same terms on which Iran  provides it." Taking into account these two statements, the  expert  wondered exactly when Iran had handed over control over its territory  to a third party. She clarified that it was actually about the  implementation of customs control, to which the Azerbaijani side  quite reasonably agrees.

"Another question is whether Armenia will use the territory of  Azerbaijan by conducting customs checks through a third party, or  will Azerbaijan not allow any third party presence?" Hayrapetyan  noted.  Additionally, she asked a rhetorical question regarding which  third party could gain control over the territory. "Either you give a  corridor, or you don't," the expert clarified.
