The Zangezur Corridor is a strategic project with the potential to significantly

Türkiye and Azerbaijan and to promote the integration of the Turkic World is
analyzed. Additionally, the study explores the corridor’s impact on the strategic
calculations of regional actors such as Russia, Iran, Armenia, and Georgia.
Furthermore, the corridor’s role in creating new opportunities for trade and

and contributing to economic growth is emphasized. Lastly, the Zangezur Corridor
is expected to accelerate the economic integration of the Turkic World and make
a significant contribution to Eurasian trade.
