Azerbaijan’s scheme to connect to Nakhichevan via a land “corridor” through Armenia is a red line for Yerevan “that cannot be crossed.”
“There are red line which simply cannot be crossed,” Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan told journalists on Wednesday, referring to the Azerbaijani scheme, which is commonly known as the “Zangezur Corridor.”
“The Republic of Armenia is willing and ready to unblock the communications under very simple, but dogmatic rules – sovereignty and equality jurisdiction,” Grigoryan said, emphasizing that there will be no “Zangezur Corridor.”
Meanwhile, Turkey’s parliament speaker Numan Kutulmus said his country supports Azerbaijan “in every way” in the “Zangezur Corridor” issue, expressing hope that the scheme will come to fruition soon.
Kurtulmus said the “corridor” will not only benefit Turkey and Azerbaijan, but also all the countries in the region.
The Turkish parliament speaker said he hopes that the”Zangezur corridor” will become “a corridor of peace.”
