Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has stated that work is underway to restore and reopen the railway connection between his country and Türkiye, APA reports.

Pashinyan said in an interview with TRT World.

"We had a very positive meeting with President Erdoğan, held a positive dialogue, and expect our relations to continue developing. We now need to repair and reopen the railway between our countries. We are working in this direction," the Prime Minister noted.

Note that Armenia and Türkiye do not have diplomatic relations, and the land border between the two countries has been closed since 1993. In recent years, negotiations have been held at the level of special representatives as part of efforts to normalize relations.
