President: We can send first cargo from Azerbaijan to Turkey via Armenia and Nakhchivan

"In a short period, the road from Horadiz to Zangilan was temporarily built. I went that way myself. It is possible to go comfortably and at high speed," Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said while receiving a delegation led by Turkish National Defense Minister Hulusi Akar on December 31.

"I believe that railway construction will take a maximum of 2 years. However, our opinion is that we should not wait for this date and transport it by rail to Horadiz and then by trucks. It is already an important issue on our agenda. We can already send and receive the first cargo from Azerbaijan to Turkey through Armenia and Nakhchivan. Thus, the Nakhchivan Corridor opening, an essential part of the Declaration signed on November 10, will be implemented," the head of state added.
