`Transport project` or "path to peace" presented to Armenia now,  could turn into violation of Armenia`s sovereignty - expert 

ArmInfo. What is currently being presented in Armenia as a "transport project" or "path to peace" could tomorrow become yet another violation of Armenia's  sovereignty. Political scientist Suren Surenyants writes about this  on his Facebook account. 

According to him, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev stated at the  Gabala Summit of Turkic-Speaking States that "the opening of the  Zangezur Corridor was one of the most important results of the  Washington Summit." The Gabala Declaration adopted following the  summit also enshrines this same formulation as a key component of  regional cooperation. At the same time, as Surenyants notes, while  Baku effectively claims that the corridor idea is an implemented  agreement, the Armenian Prime Minister's press secretary is trying to  convince the public that Aliyev's words "do not apply to the  territory of the Republic of Armenia."

"This response isn't a clear political position, but an attempt to  create the illusion that everything can be explained 'in one's own  way.' It's deja vu. We saw the same mistake in 2020, when Pashinyan  tried to convince us that Point 9 of the November 9 statement didn't  imply Russian control. This self-delusion ended with the destruction  of Artsakh. Today, the same pattern is repeating itself.

Pashinyan is once again attempting to present an international  document in his own interpretation, this time the Washington  Declaration. However, history does not forgive such 'whims.' What is  now being presented as a 'transport project' or a 'path to peace'  could tomorrow become yet another violation of Armenia's sovereignty.  In this situation, the authorities' silence or illusory statements  can no longer be considered diplomatic restraint; they are political  irresponsibility, which strikes at the very foundations of the  state's sovereignty," the political scientist emphasized.
