Erdogan: Cooperation between Turkey, Azerbaijan and Armenia will reach a new level

Zangezur Corridor opens a new era of peaceful cooperation in the region

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made an important statement after the Cabinet of Ministers meeting, emphasizing the peaceful nature of the Zangezur Corridor project for the entire region.

The Turkish leader noted that the full implementation of this large-scale project will significantly transform relations between Turkey, Azerbaijan and Armenia, taking regional cooperation to a fundamentally new level.

"The 224 km Kars - Igdir - Aralik - Dilucu railway line will become the backbone of the Zangezur Corridor. It will be double-tracked, electrified and equipped with signaling. This line will transport 5.5 million passengers and 15 million tons of cargo per year. With the commissioning of this project worth 2.4 billion euros, the international trade route from China to Great Britain will become more efficient. The project will also connect the Caspian and Mediterranean sea basins," he said.

In his speech, Erdogan particularly emphasized the strategic importance of the Zangezur Corridor both for Turkey and the entire South Caucasus, noting its potential in transforming the region's transport infrastructure.
