Ali Asadov: Azerbaijan-Armenia agreements hold historic significance

Agreements reached on the peace agenda between Azerbaijan and Armenia hold historic significance for ensuring sustainable cooperation in the South Caucasus region, Azerbaijan's Prime Minister Ali Asadov said as he addressed the 5th Tbilisi Silk Road Forum.

"Opening communications in the region, including the connection of Azerbaijan’s main territory with the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, an integral part of the country, will contribute to expanding the region’s transit potential for international cargo," Ali Asadov said.

He expressed confidence that the new route to be opened in the region, based on the Washington agreements, will become an important segment of the Middle Corridor and contribute to enhancing its role in the global transport network.

Yesterday, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev announced that the opening of the Zangezur Corridor could take place by the end of 2028.
