Unblocking South Caucasus puzzle consisting of numerous pieces -  Alexey Overchuk 

ArmInfo.  Unblocking the South Caucasus is a puzzle consisting of a large number of pieces. This was stated in an interview with RIA Novosti by Russian Deputy  Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk on the sidelines of the 10th Eastern  Economic Forum (EEF) in Vladivostok.

In this regard, he emphasized that this puzzle contains political  aspects related to the signing of a peace agreement between Armenia  and Azerbaijan, issues of delimitation and demarcation of the state  border between them. At the same time, the Deputy Prime Minister  pointed out the issues of organizing and conducting all types of  control that occur when crossing the state border, problems of human  safety, problems of loading this road, environmental and climate  issues, economic issues and the interests of neighboring countries.

"Finally, there are the interests of the Russian Federation related  to the railway concession, as well as the presence of Russian border  guards directly in the Meghri section. There are a lot of different  questions, they are mostly technical in nature, but the final result  depends on them," Overchuk summed up.

According to the source, this year's EEF was held on the theme: "The  Far East - cooperation for peace and prosperity."
