YEREVAN, MAY 29, ARMENPRESS. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has said that one of the items discussed at the trilateral talks in Moscow was the opening of regional connections.
PM Pashinyan said he reiterated that Armenia is ready to open the regional connections under sovereignty and jurisdiction of the countries through which they pass.
“This is about the connections underscored under clause 9 of the 9 November 2020 trilateral statements. We are ready for the swift reopening of the connections under sovereignty and jurisdiction of the countries, and we have emphasized this. We are trying to work on the opening of railway infrastructures. We are eager and interested in the opening of regional connections. I believe we have a rather flexible and constructive position here and we are really ready for the opening of connections, and I am convinced that when this happens it will be an additional boost for Armenia’s economic development. Unfortunately, the solution of this issue doesn’t solely depend on us. If it were to depend on us, it would have been solved long ago,” the Armenian PM said at a joint parliamentary committee hearing on the 2022 budget report.
