Baku has proposed that Azerbaijan and Armenia jointly use a corridor
linking Armenia to Nagorno Karabakh, an Azerbaijani deputy foreign
minister said on Thursday.

"Armenians often say they need communication between the Armenian
community in Karabakh and Armenia. But the road across Lachin is
important for Azerbaijan as well," Araz Azimov said.

The Lachin corridor is the shortest route connecting Armenia with
Nagorno Karabakh.

Azimov said, however, that Azerbaijan was categorically against this
road being used by one side only, adding that Armenia had failed to
be constructive on the issue, RIA Novosti reported.
