Azimov also said that the highway that connects the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic with Armenia (the so-called Lachin corridor) should be under Azerbaijani control, while both sides should have the use of the remaining sections of the highway from Azerbaijani\'s Agdam District via Karabakh, Lachin, and Armenia to the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic.
