Putin, Pashinyan and Aliyev Issue Joint Statement after Sochi Meeting

YEREVAN (Azatutyun.am)—Armenia’s government insisted on Tuesday that it will not cede any extraterritorial land corridors to Azerbaijan as a result of the latest talks between the leaders of the two states hosted by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Putin, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev met in the Russian city of Sochi on Friday one year after a Russian-brokered ceasefire that stopped the six-week war over Nagorno-Karabakh. They reported further progress towards the opening of transport links between Armenia and Azerbaijan envisaged by the ceasefire.

In particular, Putin said a trilateral task force dealing with the matter will meet in Moscow this week to announce “decisions which we agreed today.” He did not elaborate.

The truce accord commits Armenia to opening rail and road links between Azerbaijan and its Nakhichevan exclave. Armenia should be able, for its part, to use Azerbaijani territory as a transit route for cargo shipments to Russia and Iran.

Aliyev has repeatedly claimed that the deal calls for a special “corridor” that will connect Nakhichevan to the rest of Azerbaijan via Armenia’s Syunik province. Commenting on the Sochi talks over the weekend, he declared that the “Zangezur corridor is becoming reality.”

The Armenian Foreign Ministry effectively denied that on Tuesday. The ministry spokesman, Vahan Hunanyan, said a joint statement issued by Aliyev, Pashinyan and Putin at Sochi “refuted propaganda notions about a ‘corridor’ or the logic of a corridor.”

Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan, the Armenian co-chair of the Russian-Armenian-Azerbaijani task force, likewise insisted that the three leaders discussed conventional cross-border transport links, rather than “exterritorial roads” implied by Aliyev.

“In case of the unblocking of roads, both the railway and highways [passing through Armenian territory] will be under Armenia’s full jurisdiction and control,” Grigoryan told the “Hraparak” daily.

Accordingly, he said, cargo shipments to and from Nakhichevan will be subject to Armenian customs controls and other border checks.

The assurances came amid continuing Armenian opposition allegations that Pashinian agreed to make more concessions to Baku at the expense of Armenia’s territorial integrity. A senior opposition lawmaker, Armen Rustamyan, suggested on Monday that Aliyev’s latest statement about the “Zangezur corridor” is the result of his unpublicized “oral understandings” with Pashinyan.

Visiting Yerevan on November 5, Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk said the trilateral working group has agreed that Armenia and Azerbaijan will “retain sovereignty over roads passing through their territory.” The Russian Foreign Ministry also reported such an agreement.

    This is insanity no matter what label is given to this passage which will connect one enemy-occupied Armenian territory to another. It will link the criminal artificial Azerbaijan republic invented on occupied Armenian homeland to occupied Armenian territory of Nakhijevan which was illegally confiscated from Armenia in 1921 and depopulated entirely of indigenous Armenian population by enemy’s racist policies deliberately aimed at driving them out of their homeland.

    It was only sixteen years ago that in 2005 the sadistic Azerbaijani army desecrated and erased the last remnants of the Armenian presence there by destroying a 1,300 year old ancient Armenian cemetery in Julfa and replaced it with a military training camp to train new Azerbaijani criminals to kill Armenians AND here we are facilitating its linkage to artificial Azerbaijan whose criminals leadership ordered that destruction.

    Even more important and destructive than that is the fact that this linkage also connects terrorist Turkey to criminal Azerbaijan via occupied Nakhijevan and through this passage Turkey will gain access to Central Asia and beyond. This is a long-awaited gift to the terrorist leaderships of Turkey and Azerbaijan and no matter how you try to distort and twist its labeling to misinform and mislead the Armenian population it is nothing but a pan-Turanic passage, պան-թուրանական միջանցք in Armenian, which we must never allow to become reality.

    This is what happens when an uninformed and politically gullible population, under the disguise of false democracy, elects an incompetent and unpatriotic leader who treats these critical events imposed on the Armenians nothing but a business transaction.

    Very well said Ararat.
    Unfortunately we have learned not to trust our government’s official statements.
    Armenians cannot and should never allow that corridor to happen.

    Strade di transito non significa cedere territori altrimenti i turchi non avrebbero insistito sul “corridoio di terreno” che è ben altra cosa.

      This is not about giving up territory because that can never happen under any circumstances. This is about giving passage through Armenian territory to two terrorist enemy states. Why would Armenian leaders even consider facilitating a land passage that will bring two enemy states closer together by an uninterrupted transit route which will cause even closer collaboration between the two against Armenia in the future than they already have? The idea should be to block such a passage than unblock it. What part of bringing two enemies closer together through Armenian territory don’t Armenian leaders understand? Armenians must NEVER trust the Turks under any circumstances. The only time the Armenians can and should trust the Turks is when they don’t exist in the region anymore!

    Apres Ararat. Sometimes when you want to deny something, you Gould set such preconditions that the enemy will refuse. How about a corridor to Hopa, where Armenia would have access to the Mediterranean? Right through Kars and Ardahan. It would be what Erdogan is wanting: free trade. Surly Erdogan will refuse. And then we would too.

    Might is right, Armenia have no might, Pashinyan is doing the best he can, under these circumstances it is left very limited choices to Armenia, talk is cheap, where is the might, who is going to fight, war needs money, from where is the money going to come, where is America, where is the West, they are just talking and trying to use diplomacy while on the ground Azerbaijan and Turkey day in day out they are killing and harassing Armenians, as I said, talk is cheap.

      You are right talk is cheap and we saw how cheap all Pashinyan’s talks turned out to be in the moments of truth. He led his movement under the slogan “դուխով”, meaning “հոգով ու համարձակ” a foreign word used for an Armenian movement, and we witnessed a year ago he was the one without any “դուխ” himself!

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
