Moscow supports the full opening of transport communications in the South Caucasus region, Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Mikhail Galuzin said at the session titled “3+3 Platform: Common Challenges and Strategic Partnership” held within the framework of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, APA's Russia bureau reports.

According to him, the opening of transport communications in the region is necessary for the full-fledged functioning of the “3+3” format.

“In our view, it is important to ensure the participation of all countries in the region in developing the transit potential of the South Caucasus. It is impossible to speak of full transport connectivity without opening Armenia’s borders with Azerbaijan and Türkiye, as well as Georgia’s borders with Abkhazia and South Ossetia. In our opinion, the sooner this happens, the more logistics opportunities all regional players will have,” the Russian diplomat stressed.
