Question: Today, the President of Türkiye touched upon the issue of unblocking transport communications and using the term “corridor”, stated that Armenia is demonstrating a more flexible approach on this matter in order to participate in economic integration. How would you comment on this?

Answer: Armenia has been and remains interested in enhanced regional connectivity and economic development. Guided exactly by this understanding the Republic of Armenia has proposed the “Crossroads of Peace” initiative, along with corresponding ideas, solutions, and constructive proposals. In our view, the latter can yield mutually beneficial outcomes both for the countries in the region and for partners interested in the development of a broader network of connectivity in wider geography. As before, Armenia’s vision for unblocking regional transport infrastructure is anchored in fundamental principles of sovereignty and national jurisdiction over the respective routes, and, as it is well known, that does not imply any other logic. Discussions with interested partners are ongoing.
