PanARMENIAN.Net - The telephone conversation between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is another important step in the process of normalizing relations between Armenia and Turkey, Secretary of the Armenian Security Council Armen Grigoryan said in an interview with the Public Television.

He said that the Prime Minister of Armenia and the President of Turkey discussed in detail the opening of the border for citizens of third countries and the transportation of goods.

“I think that it will be possible to open the border for the citizens of Armenia and Turkey in the future,” Grigoryan said.

The Secretary reiterated that Armenia has repeatedly stated that a corridor through its territory for Azerbaijan is a red line, and that such an issue has never been discussed.

The Azerbaijani side has on multiple occasions spoken about a so-called "corridor" through the southern Armenian province of Syunik that would connect Nakhijevan to the rest of Azerbaijan. The Armenian side, however, has repeatedly denied being involved in negotiations for the provision of a corridor to Azerbaijan, stressing that they have only agreed to unblock transport communications in the region.
