"This is a sovereign issue of Armenia and Azerbaijan. We want both Baku and Yerevan to sign the agreement as soon as possible," Peskov told reporters, referring to the broader peace process.
His statement comes amid reports that Armenia is considering outsourcing the administration of a 42-kilometer section of the corridor in Syunik Province (Zangezur) to the United States.
