The President of Turkey announced the possibility of a railway route from Karabakh through Iran if Armenia does not open the Zangezur corridor

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the Iranian authorities had a positive attitude towards possible participation in the creation of railway routes through the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.

According to the Turkish Anadolu news agency, Erdogan called on the Armenian government to ensure “peace routes” through the Zangezur and Lachin corridors. The Turkish leader also said that if Yerevan refuses to participate in the railway connection from Turkey to Karabakh and further to Baku, the route could pass through Iranian territory. According to him, Tehran has a positive attitude towards the possibility of providing transport links between Turkey and Azerbaijan.



Erdogan also noted that the military operation of the Azerbaijani army in Nagorno-Karabakh will create new peaceful corridors in the South Caucasus and called on the Armenian authorities not to delay this process.

The Turkish President also emphasized that progress in the Azerbaijani-Armenian process should be aimed at regional normalization, which can be significantly strengthened by the creation of direct rail and road connections between Nakhichevan and other regions of Azerbaijan.

Earlier, during his speech at the UN General Assembly, Erdogan announced support for the operation of the Azerbaijani army in Nagorno-Karabakh and advocated the joint peaceful residence of ethnic Armenians and Azerbaijanis in this region. The Turkish President added that he expects the promises made earlier by the Armenian leadership regarding the opening of the Zangezur corridor to be realized.

    The most pressing issue now is the residence of Armenians in Karabakh. Or, their attempt to stay there. How long will the patience of the Armenians be enough not to leave there forever?

        The Karabakh people hardly shouted “Russia out”. And now, yes, there are problems, thanks to the active actions of the “partners” and our inaction

          Should I tell you what kind of trade turnover there is between Russia and Turkey? And what does Armenia itself say? And through the mouth of Pashinyan it says that Karabakh is Azerbaijan and in general Armenia and Russia are not on the same path. So what action did you want from Russia in these conditions and on what legal grounds?

            We should not care what “Armenia says.” Today he says one thing, tomorrow he says something else. Only one question is important - what is Turkish/NATO Karabakh in our interests?

              I’ll tell you a secret. Karabakh, even purely theoretically, would still be NATO either through Armenia or through Azerbaijan.

          4 UN resolutions, Pashinyan recognition and signing, historical justice, Turkey factor, world law and world recognition factor, lack of recognition of Pashinyan, Sargsyan Kocharyal and Levon Terpetrosyan, not one of them recognized Karabakh. This is why you will be inactive!

          Yes, yes, they didn’t shout) And who beat the peacekeepers? Blocked the path for the peacekeepers? Yes, unfortunately, one mistake of Azerbaijan caused a blunder with the death of peacekeepers, but we did not quarrel with the peacekeepers, although sometimes we had questions. But in order to insult and beat the peacemaker like the Armenians, these are the things that force the Russian government not to act. It is not Russia that is the traitor, but they are the traitors who bite the hand of the one who feeds. In front of the entrance to the GYUMRI Base 102 Russian base it says....BE BLESSED THE RUSSIAN FOOT WHEN IT CAME ON THIS LAND. They do not understand the meaning of these words. They don’t understand who really belongs to Armenia. Defcto. If there were no Russia there would be no Armenia!

        This is a real way out of the clinch between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Some are giving up Karabakh, others are getting a transport corridor, but through Iran.

          This is beneficial for Russia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Iran. The transport corridor will not be blocked by Armenia in the event of an aggravation between Azerbaijan and Turkey. Türkiye will be forced to coordinate its actions with Iran. Russia receives a land corridor from Turkey through Iran past Armenia, which is hostile to it, after Pashinyan’s accession to the throne. In the future, Georgia and Armenia will face the threat of being absorbed by Turkey or Iran.

        Absolutely not! There has always been cargo and passenger transportation from Nakhichevan to Baku and still exists at the moment. The Iranian side already receives profit from transit from this logistics. The point here is to expand this logistics by connecting Russia, Turkey and Armenia itself. So Azerbaijan, in principle, doesn’t care. There is also a path through Georgia, although it is 500 km longer, but it doesn’t matter. Azerbaijan will not benefit from this, but it will not lose either.

            Time! Taking a detour through Iran takes longer. Well, Iran is not a stable arena. This is very beneficial for Iran; it insures itself against the Americans and Israelis through this corridor, but this is a separate topic. And through Zangezur, only more than 30 km are required to launch a non-alternative road, which, both according to economic and political criteria, suits all players. Moreover, I dare to suggest that the Zangezur road will work in any case. This does not depend on the wishes or unwillingnesses of Azerbaijan and Armenia. At least Russia, Türkiye, and China are interested in this.

              no matter how hard you try to coup with defeats agaist Iran but we know
              you wanted to block Arminian Iran border in order to gain leverage over Iran and Russia by being the only route between Iran russia north south corridor .
              but Iran not only stop your plan also imposed itself in your corridor so did what you wanted to do to Iran to you. your corridor is at the mercy of Persians now.

          This route may be blocked by Georgia to please the United States. Türkiye is seeking direct access to Central Asia to create an empire. Pashinyan played well with Turkey in implementing its plans with his Russophobia.

            I mean the way to Turkey. Georgia will not block it under any circumstances. It is too tied to energy resources and the BTC, BS oil pipeline. It almost completely satisfies its needs for gas from Azerbaijan, and the Turks are rebuilding and investing a lot in Georgia. With all this, relations are also at a very good level. And the transit of oil and gas was once offered to the Armenians. They didn't agree then. Now we are thoroughly in a puddle. Although I am sure that it will be Azerbaijan and Turkey that will help Armenia get out of the collapse...But! subject to the Zangezur corridor. I repeat, the Armenians need it more than anyone else.

    Considering that Iran is actively participating in the Nord Stream project, part of which is the railway route from Iran to Russia through the territory of Azerbaijan, why shouldn’t Iran also participate in this transport project?

        While there is no global idea, the idea of ​​economic development + security guarantees in exchange for loyalty is not so bad. So that there are no Pashnyans or left-wing bloated embassies anywhere near there.

      And in 2023, it is Armenia that is rapidly losing its only ally, Russia. Well, God be with them. You won't be nice by force.
      ps In 1977, the first terrorist attack occurred in the Moscow metro. The explosion killed 7 people and injured 37. In addition, 2 more explosions occurred.
      And these terrorist attacks were carried out by three Armenians, whose names are disgusting to name, from the National United Party of Armenia. So not everyone in Armenia liked and likes the fact that Russia once saved them from genocide.

    This is not the first time you write about the fact that if we “lose” Armenia, we will be reduced to the size of a Moscow principality. Is it okay that Russia’s territories have only been growing since 2014? And what does Armenia have to do with it? Russia is now trying to recover from all sorts of diseases and become a healthy country. Why do you want to interrupt this process by inoculating the recovering body with, let’s say, a gangrenous organ?
