Armenia has confirmed that a provision concerning the unblocking of regional transport links has been removed from the draft peace agreement with Azerbaijan “by mutual consent.”

“We must emphasize that effective unblocking remains a crucial element for peace and economic development in the region, as envisioned by the Republic of Armenia and the agenda it promotes. This is best reflected in the Crossroads of Peace program presented by the Armenian government, which is based on the well-known principles of respect for sovereignty and jurisdiction, as well as reciprocity and equality,” Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ani Badalian told RFE/RL’s Armenian Service on August 7.

Earlier, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s representative for special assignments, Elchin Amirbayov, stated in an interview with RFE/RL that Baku and Yerevan had found a “mutually acceptable option” regarding the road connecting Azerbaijan to its Western exclave of Nakhichevan. Baku commonly refers to this route via the southern Armenian province of Syunik, historically also known as Zangezur, as the “Zangezur Corridor.”
