Armenia doesn’t have unilateral obligations in the issue of opening regional economic and transport connections. This was told to Armenpress by the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Armenia, Ani Badalyan—and referring to the fact that Azerbaijan accuses Armenia of failure to fulfill obligations on reopening regional connections and offering complex and long routes for transport link between Azerbaijan’s western regions and Nakhchivan.

“The separate agenda of the transport connection between Azerbaijan’s western regions and Nakhchivan is part of a bigger agenda of unblocking regional transport and economic ties, which also includes the unblocking of the Republic of Armenia.

Secondly, Armenia has proposed, in the first phase, to launch the Zangelan-Meghri-Ordubad-Yeraskh railway cargo transportations. This is the shortest possible railway between Zangelan and Ordubad. Regarding the roads, we have the kind of roads and terrain that we have and to accuse us of being a mountainous country would be unserious, to say the least," added the Armenian MFA spokesperson.
