February 20, Fineko/abc.az. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said in an interview for Azerbaijani TV channels in Germany that he proposes to create checkpoints on the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan.

ABC.AZ reports that the head of state commented on the essence of the issue under consideration:

"But our initial impression is that both Europe and America view this proposal of ours as logical. This is certainly an important factor in the normalization of relations between the two countries. Because if we are talking about border delimitation, it is impossible to achieve without checkpoints. If we are talking about the opening of communications, of course, checkpoints should be established at both ends of the Zangezur corridor and at the border between Lachin district and Armenia. Today, at the meeting held with the participation of Secretary of State Blinken, I officially put forward this as a proposal. We will wait for a response from Armenia.”
