Jeyhun Bayramov noted the importance of taking joint measures to unleash the transport-transit potential of the region, increase and diversify trade turnover, simplify and improve transit procedures of transport-communication corridors. He emphasized that the creation of a new transport infrastructure in the liberated territories of Azerbaijan, including the functioning of the Zangezur corridor, would play a decisive role in creation of a new transport hub along the Middle Corridor.
Touching upon the Azerbaijan-Armenia peace agenda, Minister Jeyhun Bayramov provided an insight into Armenia`s destructive approach, which seeks to mislead the international public, prevent the achievement of peace and security in the South Caucasus.
Bayramov also spoke of the local anti-terrorism measures against the illegal Armenian armed forces in the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan.
