“From our perspective, it is entirely logical that any road, any railway passing through Armenian territory is controlled by Armenia. Or any road, or railway passing through Azerbaijani territory, or let’s say through German territory, is controlled by that respective country. Therefore, this is the only absolutely logical agreement. In this case, Azerbaijan wants to have the assurance that Azerbaijani citizens and cargo passing through Armenian territory will be safe. This is absolutely logical and normal. But how this will be in practice, that is the responsibility of the Armenian authorities,” Klaar noted in an interview with the Armenian press.
“We share the vision of an open South Caucasus, where railway and road connections are open, and countries are reunited, as it was at the end of the Soviet era, and even earlier. Road and railway connections with Turkey and, of course, with Iran, which is already in place, should also be open. This is how we see the future. Our vision for a peaceful South Caucasus is that these transport links will be open again, there will be trade, and people will be traveling across borders,” the EU Special Representative emphasized.
