If the use of the Lachin Corridor is given to Yerevan as a link
between Nagorno Karabakh and Armenia, it will remain the territory
of Azerbaijan, Azeri Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov said.

"The Azeri side advocates bilateral use of the Lachin Corridor for
two-way traffic. But the Armenian side has not yet reached and does
not want to reach this level of understanding," Azimov told the press
on Thursday.

"Azerbaijan will under no circumstances hand over part of its
territory," he said.

Experts and the co-chairmen of the Organization for Security and
Cooperation in Europe’s Minsk Group must carry out land surveillance
before opening a ground link between Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia
through the Lachin Corridor, which runs across an Azeri district with
the same name, occupied by Armenia, the diplomat said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
