Aliyev: Armenia not capable of blocking "Zangezur Corridor"November 25, 2022 - 17:47 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev believes that Armenia is not capable of blocking the so-called "Zangezur Corridor". “We discussed the Zangezur corridor during my last conversation with Russian officials. I don’t think that Armenia is capable of blocking this corridor,” Aliyev said on Friday, November 25 at the international conference “Along the Middle Corridor: Geopolitics, Security and Economics,” Interfax.az writes. The President of Azerbaijan believes that Iran won’t interfere with the launch of the “Zangezur Corridor» either. “As for Iran, I think that it will not do this either, given its interest in regional communication projects. For these projects are not directed against anyone, but, on the contrary, are only for the benefit of all interested parties,” Aliyev said. Azerbaijan and Turkey have on multiple occasions raised the question about the Zangezur "corridor" through the southern Armenian province of Syunik that would connect Nakhijevan to the rest of Azerbaijan. The Armenian side, however, has repeatedly denied being involved in negotiations for the provision of a corridor to Azerbaijan, stressing that they have only agreed to unblock transport communications in the region.
