• Zangezur, which is currently part of southern Armenia, has been a disputed territory since World War I.
• On Azerbaijan’s side, the corridor would be integrated into the Horadiz-Agbend transport highway and railway network. On Turkey’s side, it would link into the Nakhchivan-Igdir-Kars railway and highway, providing a direct land route to Anatolia and beyond.
