Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev stated that the agreement on unhindered transport communication between Azerbaijan’s mainland and Nakhichevan will, in the long run, positively affect the freight capacity of the Middle Corridor, APA reports.
Aliyev made the remarks during a phone conversation with Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Emir of the State of Qatar.
In Washington, the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and the United States — Nikol Pashinyan, Ilham Aliyev, and Donald Trump — officially agreed to launch the Trump Route.
“The route will allow Azerbaijan to reach Nakhichevan while fully respecting Armenia’s sovereignty. Armenia will also form an exclusive partnership with the United States to develop this corridor, with the term extendable up to 99 years — and promised to be extended for another 99 years after that. We expect serious infrastructure developments, and American companies are eager to enter these countries and invest heavily, bringing economic benefits to our three nations,” Trump said.
