No Corridor Provided for in November 9 and January 11 Statements, Armenian Foreign Ministry

Armenia has repeatedly stated at all levels that it is not only willing but also interested in unblocking economic and transport links in the region. Since the signing of the trilateral statement in 2020, Armenia has adhered to the approach that this should be implemented under the sovereignty and jurisdiction of the countries involved, based on the principles of equality and reciprocity. This was stated by the Armenian Foreign Ministry in response to a question from NEWS.am.

The question arose after Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Bayramov claimed in an interview that Armenia is showing a destructive approach regarding the unblocking of communications in the region by putting forward new conditions, violating the 2020 trilateral statement, and leading the process into a deadlock. The Azerbaijani minister and other officials continue to use the term "Zangezur corridor" in public discourse. How do you comment on this?

The response to your question could be very brief; it is also included in the inquiry. There is no corridor provided for in point 9 of the trilateral statement of November 9, 2020, and in the subsequent statement of January 11, 2021. In the context of unblocking regional transport infrastructures, there is a complete absence of any corridor logic.

Armenia has repeatedly stated at all levels that it is not only willing but also interested in unblocking economic and transport links in the region and has adhered since the signing of the 2020 trilateral statement to the approach that this should be implemented under the sovereignty and jurisdiction of the countries involved, based on the principles of equality and reciprocity.
