The Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers are expected to hold fresh talks in Washington in the near future, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on Friday.

"I hope that certain progress recorded during the previous meeting in Washington will develop,” he told a cabinet meeting. “I also want to emphasize that especially after Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to recognize each other's territorial integrity, attempts to create tensions in different sections along the border are unacceptable and incomprehensible.”

“Now it is necessary to take the next step: to record the basis for delimitation and start the actual delimitation and demarcation works,” Pashinyan added.

He reaffirmed Armenia’s commitment to the unblocking of transport and economic communications in the region provided by the November 9, 2020 trilateral statement based on the principles of sovereignty, jurisdiction, reciprocity and equality of countries.

“I emphasize again that any corridor logic through the territory of Armenia is unacceptable. In this sense, I expect that the international partners will avoid using the provocative vocabulary used by Azerbaijan,” the premier said.
