The President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, announced that “about 70 percent of the construction works of the Azerbaijani section of the Zangezur Corridor have been completed..
“We are working very actively on the Zangezur Corridor, which will become an additional route from Azerbaijan to Turkey and Europe, 70 percent of the construction works in the Azerbaijani territory have been completed…
Thus, not only the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars route, but also the Zangezur corridor will pass through Azerbaijan,” Aliyev insisted…
Official Yerevan evaluates the wording “Zangezur Corridor” by the Azerbaijani authorities as a territorial ambition towards Armenia. Meanwhile, Baku insists that Yerevan is committed to providing “Zangezur Corridor” to Azerbaijan on the example of Lachin Corridor, which will allow establishing a direct connection between the western regions of Azerbaijan and Nakhichevan without the installation of customs points.
Yerevan denies that it has undertaken such a commitment, stressing that it is ready to unblock communications, but respecting the sovereignty of the two countries.
