Azerbaijan and Armenia agreed on "Zangezur corridor" highway?
Baku/29.06.22/Turan: Russia helped Armenia and Azerbaijan agree on a highway in the Zangezur corridor. Only a 6-km section remains to be agreed upon. The Russian newspaper "Izvestiya" reported this on Wednesday, citing a knowledgeable source.
According to the newspaper, at the last meeting of the Deputy Prime Ministers of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia in Moscow on June 3, the parties succeeded in agreeing the route of the future highway, except for the missing section of 6 km. "There are mountains there, and Russia's "|Avtodor" is sending experts there to suggest a simple engineering solution," the newspaper's source said.
The 46-kilometer route will run along the Araz River on the Armenian side. The rest of the route will use the old Soviet roads which, until 1992, linked Nakhchivan with the Zangelan region of Azerbaijan through Armenian territory.
According to "Izvestiya"s source, the Armenian side accelerated the negotiation process after Baku signed a memorandum with Tehran in March this year on its intention to build a road from the East Zangezur economic region of Azerbaijan to Nakhchivan through Iranian territory.
Armenian Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan also said that the positions of the sides have become closer. In an interview with TASS he said that "the sides managed to bring their positions closer on many issues of border and customs control, as well as on the safe passage of citizens, vehicles and cargo on roads and railroads through the territory of Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Notably, on June 27, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan made a series of statements from which it appeared that Baku and Yerevan could not agree on the status and regime of movement along this road. -0602D-
