Pashinyan recently asked Russia to ‘urgently address’ the full restoration of railway sections adjacent to Nakhchivan and the Turkish border.

In 2008, a 30-year concession agreement was signed, on transfer of the Armenian railway system to a Russian company.

Despite prior agreements dating back to 2022, Turkey has kept its land border with Armenia closed.

The commissions agreed to set the date of the next meeting in an Armenian city.

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan also said the announcement that Azerbaijan is lifting its trade restrictions with Armenia was ‘extremely important’.

The airline has not yet provided a start date or potential flight frequency.

Mount Ararat, though in Turkey, is deeply woven into the national identity of Armenians.
