According to him, there is only one land route between Armenia and other states of the union, and it runs through Georgia. It is clear that the possibilities are limited, so the opening of road and rail routes via Azerbaijan would provide a significant increase in the volume of trade between Armenia and the EEU.
This explains Armenia’s interest in the unblocking, he said. And Armenia is willing to implement what is written in the trilateral statement of November 9, 2020.
Pashinyan dismissed as “false” the perception held by some countries that Armenia is hindering the opening of roads.
“On the contrary, the Armenian side is the most interested in the unblocking, since it is Armenia that has been under blockade for 30 years. Both Azerbaijan and Turkey have alternative routes,” Pashinyan said.
