Effective unblocking of regional communications remains key part of Armenia's agenda -Foreign Ministry responds to Azerbaijan

YEREVAN, AUGUST 7, ARMENPRESS. Effective unblocking of regional communications continues to be an important part of Armenia's vision and promoted agenda for peace and economic development in the region. In response to Armenpress's question, Ani Badalyan, spokesperson for the Armenian Foreign Ministry, commented on the statement made by Elchin Amirbayov, the special representative of the President of Azerbaijan.

Amirbayov had noted that Armenia and Azerbaijan mutually agreed to remove the clause concerning the so-called "Zangezur Corridor" from the draft peace agreement and to address it at a later stage.

 Noting that the article related to regional communications was removed from the draft of the peace agreement by mutual consent, we must emphasize that their effective unblocking continues to be an important part of Armenia's vision and agenda for peace and economic development in the region. This was best reflected in the 'Crossroads of Peace' program presented by the Armenian government, which is based on the well-known principles of respect for sovereignty and jurisdiction, as well as reciprocity and equality," Ani Badalyan emphasized.
