That Door Between Armenia and Azerbaijan Could Not Have Opened Before: Kos

The European Commission's Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, expressed gratitude to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. “In the past, the Black Sea or the Caspian Sea were often perceived as dividing barriers,” Kos stated.

“The peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan has opened a door that could not have been opened before. President Ilham Aliyev, thank you for your leadership in this peace initiative, which is greatly supported by the European Union. We are creating a new framework. This does not mean that we will forget about all the other routes between Europe and China, but we must focus on diversification. Studies show that the Trans-Caspian transport route can triple transport volumes by 2030, halve transit times, and save tens of millions of dollars annually. This is also one of the most attractive factors for business,” Kos added.
