YEREVAN. June 1 (Interfax) - Deputy prime ministers of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia will meet in Moscow on June 2 to discuss unblocking regional transport communications, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said.
"A trilateral working group tasked with unblocking regional communications is due to meet in Moscow tomorrow," Pashinyan told Armenian diaspora representatives in Moldova on Thursday.
On May 31, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk said, responding to a question posed by Interfax, that the agenda will focus on the technicalities of border-crossing between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
"There will be passport, customs, and all other types of control that exist on international borders," Overchuk said
The parties "have come very close to a point where we can say that we can resume railroad services between western Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan," he said.
"Armenia is also getting an opportunity for unblocking traffic to Russia via Nakhchivan, Syunik, and Azerbaijan and other EU countries, and it could also reach Iran," Overchuk said.
On May 25, Russian President Vladimir Putin said after talks in Moscow with Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev that the deputy prime ministers would meet the following week to finalize remaining details relating to the unblocking of transport communications in the South Caucasus.
