ArmInfo. The Armenian government has called the publication of Periodista Digital (Spain). The article claims that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's agreed to cede a region of the Republic of Armenia to the United States.
Note that the publication references a secret memorandum involving Armenia, Azerbaijan and the United States, distributed among the Armenian diaspora. It outlines plans for a 42-kilometer-long "Trump Bridge" transport corridor that would pass through the Syunik region of Armenia and connect Azerbaijan to its exclave of Nakhichevan.
The transport corridor will be managed by a private American company. Yerevan will only receive 30% of the revenue from using the route. According to the publication, the memorandum has already been approved in three countries. , the source writes.
As noted by the Information and Public Relations Department of the Government of Armenia, " This misinformative material was published on a website of dubious origin called Periodista Digital, which has repeatedly appeared in the center of criticism for the use of fake persons, serving as a platform for the dissemination of manipulative and unsubstantiated materials. The mentioned article has nothing to do with reality. The positions of the Republic of Armenia on the unblocking of regional transport infrastructure are clearly formulated in the "Crossroads of Peace" project. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan extensively addressed this issue at the press conference on July 16 this year.
Additional clarifications were also made in an interview given to "Armenpress" by the Prime Minister's press secretary N. Baghdasaryan on July 21 this year. Any information that contradicts the content of the above cannot correspond to reality. We urge the media and public circles to refrain from spreading such misinformation and to use exclusively official and reliable sources,> the Armenian Cabinet of Ministers stated.
It is noteworthy that after the aforementioned press conference of Pashinyan, where he assured that all discussions are conducted exclusively within the framework of the territorial integrity, sovereignty and legitimacy of the Republic of Armenia, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev stated that Armenia risks finding itself in political isolation if it does not open the so-called (extraterritorial corridor through the Syunik region - ed.), that , and that the Azerbaijani side views this communication route as an unimpeded and safe connection between the territories of Azerbaijan. According to him, this issue was also raised at a meeting with the Prime Minister of Armenia in Abu Dhabi. He also added that there will be no on their territory. -
