In previous months Armenia was objecting the opening of the highway. But now we managed to persuade them that it’s inevitable and they also agreed on that, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev told this in an interview with El Pais.

“So, there is understanding. Now we discussed the legal regime of these corridors. Zangezur Corridor which will go through Azerbaijan to Armenia and further down to Nakhichevan – the legal regime. Here we have certain issues still open,” Aliyev said.

According to him, both countries recognize that this must happen.

“But I think both countries recognize that this must happen. By the way, during the trilateral meeting in Sochi last month held by President Putin, we adopted a Declaration which really talks about opening of communications. So, it will happen,” Aliyev said.
