Armenia, Azerbaijan discussing four topics, "including Karabakh"

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia is discussing four issues with Azerbaijan, including the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Secretary of the Security Council Armen Grigoryan said Friday, June 30.

Grigoryan said humanitarian issues, first of all the the return of prisoners and information about missing persons, unblocking of transport communications, as well as demarcation and demarcation of the borders are high on the agenda as well.

The Secretary again denied that the parties are negotiating the provision of a corridor to Azerbaijan, maintaining that both Russia and the European Union have confirmed that no such issue is on the table.

The Azerbaijani side has on multiple occasions raised the question about a "corridor" through the southern Armenian province of Syunik that would connect Nakhijevan to the rest of Azerbaijan. The Armenian side, however, has repeatedly denied being involved in negotiations for the provision of a corridor to Azerbaijan, stressing that they have only agreed to unblock transport communications in the region.
