Azerbaijan’s state oil company SOCAR has set up a petrol station on Goris-Kapan roadway, which passes through Armenia’s Syunik region and was handed over to Azerbaijan with verbal agreement by Pashinyan. 

The opening event was attended by the president of the company Rovnag Abdullayev, the Azerbaijani media reported. 

To note, Azerbaijani forces, which had intruded into the sovereign territory of Armenia, earlier established customs checkpoints by acquiescence of the RA leadership, continue to levy sums as fees, and transfer them to its budget.

Furthermore, on August 25, Azerbaijan blocked the Karmrakar-Shurnukh section of the Goris-Kapan roadway which passes exclusively through the territory of the Republic of Armenia and where vehicles were evacuated only after negotiations held by Russian border guards.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
