The former President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili shared an open letter to the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia on his Facebook account over the Zangazur Corridor and emphasized its importance, Azernews reports.
He exemplifies the Ukrainian-Moldovian agreement over the leased road to access Ukrainian Bessarabia and notes that it will be beneficial for Armenia and Azerbaijan.

"I would like to implore the leadership of Azerbaijan and Armenia to consider the existing arrangement between Ukraine and Moldova as a possible example. These two countries have maintained positive neighborly relations, mutually recognizing each other's borders. In a scenario where Ukraine required access from the city of Odesa to the southern part of the Odesa region, Moldova willingly agreed to lease a road across the Dniester region. As the former governor of Odesa, I frequently used this leased road (which I had repaired) under the control of Ukrainian border guards whenever I needed to travel to Ukrainian Bessarabia. Moldova receives commercial benefits from this agreement.

Applying a similar solution to the situation between Azerbaijan and Armenia would prove beneficial for both nations. Armenia could gain commercial and financial advantages, as well as access to significant transit roads. Additionally, Azerbaijan could avoid the need for a continued presence of Russian troops, ultimately leading to peaceful coexistence between the two countries," Saakashvili wrote in the post.
