YEREVAN. May 25 (Interfax) - Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has reiterated Yerevan's readiness to unblock all transport and economic links in the region.
"In his address, the Azerbaijani president used an expression which in recent years has served as a headline for pursuing territorial claims against Armenia. I want to tell you that this is used in implementing Paragraph 9 of the Trilateral Statement of November 9, 2020. I'd like to emphasize that this statement refers to the only corridor, and this is the Lachin corridor, which should have been under the control of Russian peacekeepers but, regrettably, appears to be unlawfully blocked by Azerbaijan," Pashinyan said, speaking at a meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in Moscow on Thursday.
"On the other hand, I want to reiterate Armenia's readiness to unblock all transport and economic connections in the region, and communication lines running across Armenian territory," he said.
"We call it the Armenian Crossroad. We are ready to open regional communications within the scope of the sovereignty and jurisdiction of the countries that they run through. I mean those transport links referred to in Paragraph 9 of the Trilateral Statement of November 9, 2020 and in the Trilateral Statement of November 11, 2021," Pashinyan said.
