The passage of Azerbaijani vehicles through the new route through the corridor connecting Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) with Armenia is due to the participation of the relocation of the bases of the Russian peacekeeping contingent stationed on the former route and being redeployed on the new route—also agreed with Artsakh authorities. This was reported by the office of Artsakh National Security Council—and in response to Armenian News-NEWS.am's written request.

The Armenian News-NEWS.am crew, going from Armenia to Artsakh on Thursday, had recorded that Azerbaijani cars were also passing through the new alternative temporary motorway.

As of Tuesday, the Armenia-Artsakh traffic is carried out along an alternative temporary motorway which is completely asphalted. But construction work continues there.

The total length of the new main motorway is 32 kilometers, of which 10 kilometers are in the territory of Armenia. The Armenian side has started the construction in August and is expected to finish it next spring.
