Terms for passenger transport via Zangezur corridor announced

Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan has announced that passenger transport will also be carried out on the railway line running through Armenia as part of the TRIPP route. In a comment to Modern.az, Azer Badamov, deputy chair of the Economic Policy, Industry and Entrepreneurship Committee of Azerbaijan's Milli Majlis, said the TRIPP route could play an important role in interregional passenger transport in the future.

Badamov said that realising passenger services depends on political and practical conditions. He said normalisation of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the opening of transport communications and the building of mutual trust are essential. He noted that rapid expansion of passenger links between two peoples who lived in conflict for years does not seem realistic, but gradual cooperation is possible.

Badamov also stressed that creating an unobstructed transport link between Azerbaijan's main territory and Nakhchivan is of particular importance.
