Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin is convinced that the creation of new infrastructure routes will ensure the development of the South Caucasus. He said this during a meeting with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on Thursday in Armenia.

According to Mishustin, the aforesaid will strengthen contacts between people.

"We are consistently advocating for the unblocking of economic, transport, and logistics links in the Transcaucasia [(South Caucasus)], in accordance with the agreements by the heads of Russia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan," said the Russian premier.
