Border checkpoint
Ilham Aliyev said that he officially proposed to Nikol Pashinyan and the entire Armenian leadership to establish a number of checkpoints on the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia, namely at the junction of the Azerbaijani and Armenian parts of the Zangezur corridor and at the entrance to the Lachin region of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
The President of Azerbaijan noted that Nikol Pashinyan did not respond to the proposal, although it is, Ilham Aliyev stressed, a natural part of the processes of delimitation and demarcation of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
"If we talk about the delimitation of the border, then checkpoints should be created at both ends of the Zangezur corridor, and on the border of the Lachin region of Azerbaijan and Armenia,”
Ilham Aliyev said.
