Baku considers cargo delivery via Aghdam-Khankendi road important step

The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry considers the passage of cargo sent by the Russian Red Cross Society (RRCS) in a coordinated manner with Azerbaijan through the Aghdam-Khankendi road as a positive step and an important progress towards the opening of this road.

The Foreign Ministry made the remarks in a statement made in connection with the passage of the truck of the Russian Red Cross Society to Khankendi via the Aghdam-Khankendi road, Caliber.Az reports.

“Despite the problems and provocations committed by the so-called regime of Armenia in the Garabagh region of Azerbaijan, we consider the passage of cargo sent by RRCS in a coordinated manner with Azerbaijan through the Aghdam-Khankendi road as a positive step and an important progress towards the opening of this road,” the statement reads.

Regarding the issue of simultaneous use of Ahgdam-Khankendi and Lachin roads, as Azerbaijan mentioned during high-level contacts with the United States and other partners, the country agreed to the issue of simultaneous use of these two roads through the ICRC, the ministry added.

“Unfortunately, the party that prevents the implementation of this agreement is the so-called regime created by Armenia in the Garabagh region,” the ministry underlined.

 “We once again declare that the Azerbaijani side is ready to create conditions for the transportation of goods through the ICRC by following the border and customs procedures at the Lachin border checkpoint, in parallel with the Aghdam-Khankendi road,” the statement informed.
