"We continue to engage with International Committee of the Red Cross to ensure the soonest and simultaneous opening of Agdam-Khankandi and Lachin-Khankandi roads for ICRC convoyed trucks as agreed in the telephone conversation between President Ilham Aliyev and Secretary of State Antony Blinken on September 1st," The Assistant to President of Azerbaijan-Head of the Foreign Policy Affairs Department of the Presidential Administration Hikmat Hajiyev wrote on X (former Twitter), APA reports.

"12 calendar days have passed since then, but illegal regime subordinated to Armenia refuses to allow this passage and opening of roads. We urge our international partners to redouble their efforts and expert pressure on Armenia and its proxy/subordinated illegal regime to end this destructive policy. Maintaining "gray area" status quo and deliberate weaponization of humanitarian issues are their futile strategy," Hikmat Hajiyev noted.
