Davos: Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturyan has expressed optimism about the future of direct cargo transportation from Azerbaijan through Armenian territory. Speaking at the panel on ‘Defining the Economic Identity of Eurasia’ during the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Khachaturyan highlighted the political will and courage demonstrated by Armenia and Azerbaijan to take significant steps toward peace.
According to Azeri-Press News Agency, President Khachaturyan referenced Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s recent remarks, emphasizing the mutual efforts to establish lasting peace between the two nations. He noted the historical context, stating, “After more than 30 years, we are suddenly living in such a situation.” The President underscored the surprising nature of the current state of affairs, which would have seemed unimaginable just a year or two ago.
