As any other country in the world, now Armenia is doing its best to have or promote its logistical routes to become part of global transit routes. This was stated by Armenian foreign minister Ararat Mirzoyan in an interview with the Indian media outlet WION.

“And here, exploring new opportunities is very important for Armenia. Moreover, we have come up with our own initiative, Crossroads of Peace, which basically supposes to unblock all transport and transit infrastructure in the South Caucasus, first of all, but also the initiative goes beyond the South Caucasus, especially having in mind that if implemented, this project will have a positive influence not only on the three countries of the South Caucasus. So we are interested in exploring new transit routes, including ports, railway, electricity cables, internet cables, etc.

And to implement this, we, of course, first of all, focus on the negotiations with our neighbors, including Azerbaijan. We made a mutually beneficial proposal for both countries,” added the Armenian FM.

Also, according to Mirzoyan, they continue their negotiations about opening their borders and reusing, relaunching their railway infrastructure, connecting Armenia with Turkey.

“So, as part of the Crossroads of Peace, we can consider not only the North-South direction, but also the West-East, or as you wish, East-West direction. Again, if implemented, this project is going to be beneficial for many players in the world,” noted the Armenian FM.
