The facts

  1. Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan presented the agreement to parliament. No deputies abstained, PAN reported. [1][2]

  2. The planned route passes through Armenia’s Syunik region to connect mainland Azerbaijan with Nakhchivan. Mirzoyan said infrastructure on Armenian territory would remain under Armenian sovereignty and jurisdiction. [1]

  3. Armenia’s embassy says US Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed the agreement on 1 June and Mirzoyan on 4 June. It distinguishes signing from the domestic procedures needed for entry into force. [3]

Still unconfirmed

  • The checked records do not establish that all entry-into-force procedures are complete or when the transport route will begin operating.
