Aghdam, August 31, AZERTAC
“On August 15, we together with the representatives of the diplomatic corps got acquainted with the technical capabilities and delivery capacity of the Aghdam-Khankendi road on the ground. At the time, the representatives of the diplomatic corps once again witnessed that the Aghdam-Khankendi road is a road with higher capacity and efficiency. Unfortunately, Armenia and the fictitious criminal regime established by it in the Karabakh region, which it continues to support to this day, are not allowing this road to be opened due to political manipulations and speculations,” Assistant to the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Head of Foreign Policy Affairs Department of the Presidential Administration Hikmat Hajiyev told journalists.
“Azerbaijan has repeatedly stated that the Aghdam-Khankendi road is functioning and any cargo can be delivered to Khankendi and adjacent territories through it in a very short time. We can only regard the refusal to use this road as racism and discrimination. As part of the reintegration process, Azerbaijan is ready to ensure the rights and security of Armenian residents living in Karabakh, as well as their obligations based on the Constitution of Azerbaijan and international documents the country is party to. However, we see that they have deliberately turned the road issue into a topic of political speculation and political manipulation. This policy is deliberately supported by Armenia," he added.
