"It is completely wrong to regard the establishment of the checkpoint, which will regulate the entry-exit mode from the border, as the closure of the road," it was stated in the statement of the Azerbaijani MFA regarding the allegations made by the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, during his speech at the government meeting, on April 27.
"Besides, despite the claims of the Prime Minister, Azerbaijan has authority and sovereign rights over the Lachin road under the Trilateral Statement. As always, Azerbaijan guarantees the safe movement of citizens, vehicles, and goods on the Lachin-Khankendi road within its obligations and will continue to take appropriate measures in this direction," minister stressed.
