Baku has responded to the statement that Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia Mher Grigoryan made today in regard to preparation for the opening of railway connection to Iran through Nakhchivan.

According to haqqin.az, citing diplomatic sources, in regard to the unblocking and restoration of communication routes between Azerbaijan and Armenia, the stance of the Azerbaijani government is that there can’t be any talk about the restoration of communication between Armenia and Iran through Nakhchivan, as well as restoration of communications in other directions until the new Aghbend-Meghri-Nakhchivan railway is not exploited.

“The Government of Azerbaijan presented its stance to M. Grigoryan during the talks held in the format of consultations of the Deputy Prime Ministers of Azerbaijan, Russia and Armenia in Moscow,” writes the source.
