BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 12. A truck of the Russian Red Cross Society in coordination with the Azerbaijani Red Crescent Society on the Aghdam-Khankendi road to Khankendi was ensured today, said spokesperson of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Aykhan Hajizadeh, Trend reports.
"The fact that the cargo was delivered along the Aghdam-Khankendi road, despite the provocations of the self-proclaimed regime of Armenia in Azerbaijan's Karabakh region, we regard as a positive step and an important shift towards the opening of this road," he said.
"As for the simultaneous use of the Aghdam-Khankendi road and the Lachin road, as Azerbaijan noted during high-level contacts with the United States and other partners, our country has agreed to the simultaneous use of these two roads through the International Committee of the Red Cross. Unfortunately, an obstacle to the realization of this agreement is the illegal regime created by Armenia in Azerbaijan's Karabakh region," the spokesperson noted.
"We reiterate that the Azerbaijani side is ready to create conditions for the transportation of goods through the ICRC through the Lachin border checkpoint with the observance of border and customs procedures in parallel with the use of the Aghdam-Khankendi road," he said.
