“In parallel with the construction work underway in Garabagh and
East Zangezur, we will connect this region to the Nakhchivan
Autonomous Republic, whether it is green energy, agriculture or
irrigation – large irrigation projects will be implemented there –
or tourism. I want to say again that we would have done it anyway,
but it is good that we are doing it peacefully,” President of the
Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said during an interview with
local television channels on January 5.
Emphasizing that Armenia will also only benefit from this, the
Azerbaijani President said: “Because Armenia can and will get out
of the deadlock it is currently in. Roads will be opened between
Azerbaijan and Armenia. Roads will be opened between Türkiye and
Armenia. Armenia will gain access to Iranian railways through
Nakhchivan and to Russian railways through Azerbaijan. In other
words, this is also beneficial for Armenia. There should be no
losers here. In any case, there will be no losers from an economic
and transport point of view. If someone considers themselves a
loser politically, this is, as they say, their own problem. But if
everyone looks at this from the point of view of pragmatism, they
can get something good for themselves here.”
