“Works are in progress. Now, expert subgroups are carrying out main activities. All issues need to be studied in great detail,” Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia Mher Grigoryan told reporters during a briefing in parliament in response to a question of the phase in which the point about the opening of transport routes of the November 9, 2020 agreement is currently.
Reporters asked what Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan meant when he said that Azerbaijan will impact the opening of communication. “I cannot rule out the possibility of such risks, and it is impossible for me to rule out those risks. Such discussions have taken place, but this is only the beginning. It is difficult to predict when things will happen. The risks that the Prime Minister is referring to exist, and it is necessary to work intensively. The more intensive these activities are, the clearer our tasks and problems will be,” Mher Grigoryan said.
Regarding President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev’s claims that Azerbaijan will allegedly open the ‘Zangezur corridor,’ Mher Grigoryan said, “It is impossible for me to discuss the issue of a corridor in that context. Yes, it has been accepted to use the word ‘corridor,’ but no such issue is being discussed even as a transportation route. We are discussing different routes that will be legally regulated exclusively based on the laws of the CIS countries, international treaties, and conventions. There is no discussion in any other format on that platform.”
