Armenia has accepted the demand for unhindered land access from the main part of Azerbaijan to the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, Azerbaijani Prime Minister Ali Asadov said at the special meeting dedicated to the “historic” visit of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to Washington, APA reports.

One of the important provisions in the Joint Declaration concerns the opening of transport and communication lines in the region, Asadov said.

He noted that after the “Patriotic War,” President Aliyev repeatedly and firmly stated that the unobstructed land connection of the main part of Azerbaijan to Nakhchivan must be ensured.

“Despite all difficulties, disagreements, and various positions, this demand of the President of Azerbaijan was also accepted by Armenia,” Asadov added.

According to him, a special infrastructure initiative supported by the US—the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP)—is envisaged in this regard.

"This will create a significant change not only for Azerbaijan, but also in the economic and geopolitical map of the entire region," added the Azerbaijani PM.
