Analyzing the Potential Effects of the Zangezur Corridor on Türkiye’s Trade with the Organization of Turkic States: A Gravity Model Approach

Öz

This study examines the potential changes in trade flows between Türkiye and the member states of the Organization of Turkic States under the scenario of the opening of the Zangezur Corridor. Using annual data for the period 2000–2023, bilateral trade between Türkiye and five member states (Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan) is analyzed within a panel gravity model framework. The model incorporates variables such as the gross domestic product of the parties, geographical distance, income differentials, and the number of transit countries. The findings indicate that economic size positively affects trade, while distance has a negative impact. Moreover, an increase in the number of transit countries restricts trade, whereas the income differential variable is found to be statistically insignificant. The study suggests that the approximately 25% reduction in distance provided by the Zangezur Corridor could lead to an estimated 20.3% increase in Türkiye's trade volume with the Organization of Turkic States. These results highlight the corridor's potential to induce a structural transformation in regional trade and underscore its strategic importance for logistic integration.
