Armenian PM signals readiness to ensure smooth transport between Azerbaijan and Nakhchivan

BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 15. The political will to ensure an uninterrupted connection between Azerbaijan’s mainland and the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic remains firm, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at a recent Cabinet of Ministers meeting, TurkicWorld reports.

"I would like to highlight and reaffirm that within the agreed framework, we are ready to move forward in this direction, acting decisively and consistently. This includes ensuring unobstructed connectivity between Azerbaijan’s mainland and Nakhchivan. Our approach is to move away from a conflict-driven mindset and adopt a normal, peace-oriented environment and way of thinking," Pashinyan stated.

The Armenian PM noted that progress will not be rapid in either Armenia or Azerbaijan, as narratives shaped by the long-standing conflict persist within both societies.

"We need to adopt a more practical approach and focus on action, as the tangible benefits of peace can be more effective than endless discussions over varying narratives, doubts, and challenges," he added.
