China's Belt and Road Initiative has nothing to do with it. Chinese Ambassador to Armenia Fan Yong told Armenian News-NEWS.am this, when asked to comment on Azerbaijan's rhetoric about a road passing through the territory of Armenia, and which Baku wants to get in the form of the "Zangezur corridor."

Fan explained that the Belt and Road Initiative contributes to the overall development and prosperity.

"And we cannot say that it has anything to do with that issue," the ambassador added.

He noted that China's position is that the issues should be resolved peacefully and through dialogue.

The Chinese diplomat expressed hope that Armenia and Azerbaijan will be able to reach an agreement as soon as possible.
