Azerbaijan needs the common road between Azerbaijan and Armenia
passing through the territory of Karabakh and Naxcivan more than
Armenia does, Transport and Communications Minister Andranik Manukyan
told journalists today.
"I would like the two neighbouring countries to develop the transport
infrastructure and people to be able to travel freely. But
Azerbaijan's proposal is a political issue. At the moment, there are
no sufficient conditions for resolving this issue," Manukyan said.
We should remind you that commenting on the meeting between the
Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers in Paris on 17 June,
Azerbaijan's Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov said that Azerbaijan
is waiting for Armenia's reply about the common road between
Azerbaijan and Armenia through the territory of Karabakh and Naxcivan.
According to Azimov, the issue of communications is one of the major
issues for settling the conflict and restoring normal life in the
region.
In reply, the Armenian Foreign Ministry said that there is no such
issue on the agenda of the Karabakh talks.
