“Armenia and the puppet regime, which it created and supports in the Garabagh region of Azerbaijan, are preventing the opening of the Aghdam-Khankandi road in a biased manner, creating artificial barriers and obstacles to prevent the use of this road, and refused the initial agreement reached on the transportation of goods via this road through the mediation of the International Committee of the Red Cross,” said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev as he has had a phone talk with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, APA reports.
The President of Azerbaijan pointed out that refusing to use the Aghdam-Khankandi road in this form is a political manipulation and it is a deliberate lie to claim that there is a humanitarian or food crisis in that area. The President said that following the opening of the Aghdam-Khankandi road, the Lachin-Khankandi road can be opened by applying the customs and border control regime rules of Azerbaijan.
President Ilham Aliyev stressed that all manifestations of separatism are unacceptable by Azerbaijan.
