Azerbaijan to build Zangezur corridor by year's end

The construction work on the railway to the border with Armenia is scheduled to be completed in 2023, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov said today.

"Azerbaijan launched construction of a 110-kilometer railway line to the border with Armenia back in 2021. Around 24% of the construction work has been completed and it is expected to be fully built in 2023. Moreover, 27% of the road construction was completed. This shows Azerbaijan's responsible approach to its work, while Armenia does nothing except for contradictory statements," Bayramov said.

Besides the restoration work in the Azerbaijani lands liberated from Armenia’s occupation, Azerbaijan fulfills its obligations to restore transportation routes, the minister added.
