We believe that international cooperation is crucial in ensuring the security of products and the safety of the people living in Armenia. Ararat Mirzoyan, Armenia’s Minister of Defense, emphasized this during a scientific forum in Antalya, speaking to the Turkish news agency, “Anadolu.” Mirzoyan stated that the local authorities and security measures of each country should be responsible for controlling transportation routes within their territories. He also stressed the importance of equality and reciprocity principles in the process. Mirzoyan pointed out that the need for applying the same security measures to transportation routes passing through Armenia and Azerbaijan has been mentioned, but the Azerbaijani side has shown no willingness to discuss this matter.

Armenia is deeply concerned about the opening of transportation routes. The country sees the opening of regional transportation routes as an opportunity for significant economic benefits. Armenia has implemented the “Road to Peace” program, which is not only important for economic development but also plays a crucial role in maintaining stability in the region, according to Mirzoyan.

These developments highlight the ongoing challenges and the importance of international collaboration for ensuring the security and safety of Armenia’s territory. Cooperation between countries, equal treatment, and reciprocity in enforcing security measures are vital for maintaining peace and stability in the region.
