‘Important consensus’ – Unblocking process to begin with re-launch of Yeraskh-Horadiz railway

YEREVAN, JUNE 21, ARMENPRESS. The unblocking process will begin with the re-launch of the Yeraskh-Julfa-Meghri-Horadiz railway, Armenian Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan has said.

Grigoryan was asked to comment on his Russian counterpart Alexey Overchuk’s statement that the Armenia-Russia-Azerbaijan working group on unblocking has reached an important agreement.

“There’s a consensus that the unblocking process will begin with the re-launch of the Yeraskh-Horadiz railway, which I believe is important because what’s being talked about is concrete and clear. I think there is a final understanding that the regulations should be under the jurisdiction and sovereignty of the countries through the territory of which the railwal will pass. This too is a highly important and fundamental agreement,” Grigoryan said, refusing to reveal details on other issues since there is no final consensus.
