Lachin corridor

Lachin corridor

The Lachin corridor is a mountain pass within de-jure borders of Azerbaijan, it is the shortest route which connects Armenia with Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. Following the 1994 cease-fire agreement in the Nagorno-Karabakh war, it came under the control of the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh, although officially it is part of the Lachin rayon of Azerbaijan.

In a statement to UN on September 18, 2005 Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov said "It is the issue of communication of the Armenians living in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan with Armenia and that of the Azerbaijanis living in the Nakhchivan region of Azerbaijan with the rest of the country. We suggest the using of the so-called Lachin corridor – which should be called "Road of Peace" - by both sides in both directions provided that security of this road will be ensured by the multinational peacekeeping forces at the initial stage".
