Azerbaijan Seems Disinterested in the 'Peace Junction,' Says Pashinyan

During an online press conference, a citizen asked Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan whether there are guarantees that the border and customs functions will be carried out by Armenians if the 'Peace Junction' project is implemented.

“One of the principles of the 'Peace Junction' is that each country carries out border and customs control through its state institutions and ensures security within its territory. This is the proposal we are making to our international partners, including Azerbaijan, Turkey, Iran, and Georgia. Azerbaijan's initial response was that they seem to be no longer interested in this project because they are implementing a communications project with Iran. If our proposal is accepted, that project will be realized,” Pashinyan stated.
