Baku official urges mediation overhaul, “corridor” opening

PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan’s presidential aide Elchin Amirbekov spoke in Mexico at the Matias Romero Institute, arguing that Armenia and Azerbaijan are closer than ever to signing a peace agreement—but face two key hurdles. First, provisions in the Armenian constitution that purportedly contain “territorial claims against Azerbaijan” must be addressed. Second, he called for abandoning “outdated and ineffective mediating mechanisms,” according to Minval.az . jam-news.net

Amirbekov also highlighted “the strategic importance of opening the so‑called Zangezur corridor,” a 40‑kilometer route that, in his view, would “drastically reshape the region’s logistics and bolster stability by connecting mainland Azerbaijan with Nakhichevan.”

Discussing broader transformations in the South Caucasus, he noted “a new world order is emerging and traditional alliances are shifting to new formats.” He expressed confidence that the peace deal “will usher in a new chapter for the entire region.”
