“After the Azerbaijani President’s statement on lifting transit restrictions, we announced that we are ready to ensure the transit of trucks from Turkey, via Margara and Khndzoresk, to Azerbaijan and vice versa today. At the moment, this is the only route, all roads and infrastructure of which are ready.”
The Prime Minister also noted that at the political level, Armenia has no problem with providing a railway connection between the central part of Azerbaijan and Nakhichevan. “But now it is physically impossible to do this, because there is no railway. That railway still needs to be built, which we are negotiating with the US,” he said.
