🇦🇲🇷🇺🇦🇿 During the dialogue with Baku and Yerevan, the search for solutions for the resumption of full operation of the Lachin Corridor continues, according to the statement of November 9, 2020. No matter how tense the situation in the region is, we consider it counterproductive to freeze negotiations under that pretext. Such rhetoric removes the establishment of stability in the South Caucasus. We call to resume joint work as soon as possible.
