Turkish Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloglu in an interview with Turkish media again touched upon the topic of the so-called “Zangezur corridor” and Armenian-Azerbaijani approaches in this issue.

“The Middle Corridor is the fastest and most reliable transport corridor. We have experienced pandemic and wars, and we should not be limited to one alternative… Of course, here we prioritize ending tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan, peace talks and, of course, achieving peace. These valuable for us talks continue. Of course, at the same time, we must take into account the national security of the countries. This is what Armenia and Azerbaijan are talking about.

There is also the Iranian alternative, and it is also on the agenda. In any case, this corridor will be implemented, but our Azerbaijani brothers are carefully studying whether it will go through Armenia or through Iran. We are also following the process,” the Turkish minister said.
