Armenia has never agreed to provide an extraterritorial corridor to Azerbaijan. Rubinyan
Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia can protect communication security in their territories. According to the report of "News.am", this was said by the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia, Ruben Rubinyan, at the diplomatic conference held in Antalya.
"On behalf of Armenia, I can say that we have a recently created unit within the national security service of the country. Thus, we have strengthened the issue of security of communications passing through Armenia. This topic is not even worth discussing," he said.
Rubinyan also stated that there is no territorial unit called "Zagezur" in Armenia, there are Syunik marz, Meghri city and other cities, and Armenia has never agreed to provide an extraterritorial corridor to Azerbaijan.
"Armenia's position regarding the unblocking of communications in the region is expressed in the "Crossroads of Peace" project. We want to unblock communications based on the principles of sovereignty, legislation, territorial integrity, equality and reciprocity," he said.
Hikmet Hajiyev, adviser to the President of Azerbaijan, announced the need to provide a "corridor", saying that Nakhichevan is allegedly under siege, and Turkey's help there is important. "Azerbaijan wants easier access to Nakhichevan. We have discussed various models within the EU, including the Kaliningrad model, these parameters can be used. "According to the tripartite statement of November 9, Armenia had to ensure that access, now the issue is in Armenia's field," Hajiyev said.
In response, Ruben Rubinyan said that Armenia named its initiative "Crossroads of Peace" because it wants peace. However, according to him, Baku continues to use the so-called "Zangezur Corridor", and Armenia has never agreed to provide an extraterritorial corridor to Azerbaijan.
