We should not use the word "corridor" at all. When we use that word, we seem to say that some piece is not ours, or its control is not ours. What “corridor” in our area? Second President Robert Kocharyan, the leader of the "Armenia" bloc that will run in the snap parliamentary elections on June 20, stated this at a meeting with the residents of Shirak Province and the active members of this bloc—in Gyumri.

"The Azerbaijanis use that word. They see there the possibility of a corridor to connect [the Azerbaijani exclave of] Nakhchivan and Azerbaijan. That is why we should not say that the railway should not be opened; let it be opened, but using the word 'corridor' is an outright crime. We can talk about unblocking, opening roads, but never put the idea of a 'corridor' because it means that your control over that corridor is partially extended," Kocharyan stressed.
