Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan evaluated his country's energy lines and transportation connections at a press conference he held.
"UNITING WITH TURKEY AND AZERBAIJAN IS THE RIGHT STEP"
Pashinyan stated that the creation of a single regional energy field could transform the South Caucasus into a strong energy exporter in international markets, using the following expressions: "It would be the right step to integrate Armenia's energy system with the energy systems of Azerbaijan and Turkey. Armenia and Azerbaijan have energy production capacities that exceed their needs. This situation opens the way for mutually beneficial cooperation. Armenia is interested in using Azerbaijan's infrastructure to access broader markets. In return, Azerbaijan will have the opportunity to transit electricity through Armenia to Nakhchivan and other directions."
"IF RUSSIA DOES NOT WANT TO INVEST, WE WILL DO IT OURSELVES"
Pashinyan also touched upon the issue of some sections of the railway lines extending to Azerbaijan and Turkey being repaired by Russia within the borders of Armenia, stating, "We have made a written application regarding this matter. I do not know if there has been a response yet, but we are generally seeing positive signals and hope for the acceleration of the process. If Russia does not want to invest, we will take over these sections and do everything ourselves."
