Nikol Pashinyan
Pashinyan dismissed an idea of opening a road to Nakhchivan. Instead, he seeks the CSTO or the OSCE Minsk Group monitoring on the border with Azerbaijan
Baku/29.07.21/Turan: Azerbaijan discredits a question of unblocking regional communications, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan declared at a meeting of the Armenian government on July 29.
According to him, Armenia has not discussed, does not discuss and will not discuss any issues about opening of the corridor. Pashinyan believes that all transport and economic communications in the region should be unblocked. Armenia should have communication with Russia, Central Asia and Iran through Azerbaijan, and Azerbaijan should have communication with Nakhichevan, Georgia and Iran through Armenia. For this to happen, it is required to create customs checkpoints, Pashinyan noted.
Touching upon the situation on the border with Azerbaijan, he called Baku's position "destructive" and "discrediting the CSTO system".
To clarify the real situation, it is possible to place a monitoring mission of the CSTO or the OSCE Minsk Group along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, he said.
According to the Turan news agency, there is no legal basis for the deployment of Russian border guards on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. The Russian border guards are responsible for protection of the borders of Armenia with Turkey and Iran in keeping with the inter-state agreement on the status of the Russian border troops on the territory of Armenia as concluded in Yerevan on September 30, 1992. To deploy them on the border of the CIS member states, a new agreement will be required.- 02D-
