Turkey, Azerbaijan seek land corridor through Armenia

Azerbaijan and Turkey are intensifying efforts to establish a land corridor through Armenia, known as the Zangezur corridor, amid a perceived opportunity created by Iran's weakened influence in the region. In a parallel development, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan announced Yerevan's readiness to normalize relations with Azerbaijan, including signing a peace treaty and addressing border delimitation and demarcation. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk confirmed significant progress in the border delimitation process, noting that meetings between the deputy prime ministers of both countries have resulted in agreements to continue demarcation from north to south. He expressed optimism that these efforts would contribute to regional stability, supported by ongoing dialogues between Azerbaijan and Armenia. The developments signal a shift towards cooperation in a historically tense region, as both countries seek to establish clearer borders and improve relations. The situation remains dynamic, with diplomatic efforts continuing to shape the outcomes.
