"We are not against unimpeded communication, but this does not mean unimpeded bypassing of Armenia’s jurisdiction," said Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan at a press conference on Friday. He confirmed that two points of the peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan remain unresolved. However, he added, Yerevan has proposed solutions for both issues.
"We propose that there be rail freight communication from the western regions of Azerbaijan to the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and vice versa, but under the same principle as from Yeraskh to Meghri" (from Armenia through Nakhchivan to Armenia).
It is worth recalling that Baku insists that goods and people from the main part of Azerbaijan to Nakhchivan and back should travel through Armenia's Syunik region (Zangezur) without any checks or stops.
Apparently, Yerevan is willing to accept this on the condition that its citizens and goods will travel from one part of Armenia to another through Nakhchivan under the same regime.
