(MENAFN) Azerbaijan on Monday condemned Armenia for its efforts to avoid pledges to open the Zangezur corridor.
"Armenia should put an end to false excuses to evade its commitments to link the Zangezur corridor and roads/railways, according to the tripartite declaration signed in November 2020,” as stated by the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.
It also said that ignoring previous talks between both nations and suggesting three “unrealistic” checkpoint choices to connect Azerbaijan to its western exclave Nakhchivan is “not a good policy.”
The declaration came as a reply to a post published by Armenian Premier Nikol Pashinyan on Twitter on the opening of three checkpoints on the Azerbaijan-Armenia frontier.
The two previous Soviet states have had stressed ties since 1991, after Armenia took over Nagorno-Karabakh, also recognized as Upper Karabakh, a land internationally known as part of Azerbaijan.
