Baku and Yerevan agreed on opening the Zangezur corridor, including the construction of railways and highways along the route, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said Monday.
In a statement, Azerbaijan’s Presidency said Aliyev spoke over the phone with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and updated him on a trilateral meeting between himself, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian and European Council President Charles Michel in Brussels on Sunday.
“The president of Azerbaijan touched on the preparation of a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the presentation by Azerbaijan of five principles based on international law, the normalization of relations between the two countries, the opening of transport corridors and the delimitation of borders discussed during the meeting,” the statement added.
“Aliyev gave a positive assessment to the results of the trilateral meeting,” it added.
According to the statement, the Azerbaijani president also noted that an order had been issued earlier Monday “to establish a state commission on the delimitation of the state border between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Armenia.”
