Mamedyarov in Paris productive. In his words, issues of common use of roads between Azerbaijan and Armenia through the territories of Nagorno Karabakh and Nakhichevan were touched upon in Paris. Now Baku awaits Yerevan's response. In his words, Baku suggests road shared use and hopes Yerevan will accept the proposal, as the parties are interested in reliable communications.
