Oskanian to Pashinyan: Outsourcing of services is management, while outsourcing of the "corridor" is a territorial concession Wednesday, July 16 2025 17:43

![]() ArmInfo. In today's press conference, Nikol Pashinyan likened the idea of granting control over a corridor through Armenia's sovereign territory to a third party with outsourcing national infrastructure such as the airport, railways, or postal services. This analogy is absurd, misleading, and dangerous, as stated by former Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian in a post on his Facebook page. The message reads as follows: "First, outsourcing the management of an airport or a postal service is a commercial arrangement in which national jurisdiction remains fully intact. The Republic of Armenia continues to exercise sovereignty over its land, airspace, and legal framework. These are standard public-private partnerships used globally to promote development, modernization, and efficiency-while retaining full national control. |
