According to the head of state, currently there is an active work on the Zangezo corridor. “Now the ancient land of Azerbaijan Zangezur will play the role of the Association of the Turkic World. Since transport, communication, infrastructure projects passing through Zangezur will unite the entire Turkic world, and will also create additional opportunities for other countries, including for Armenia,” said Ilham Aliyev.

Head of State noted that Currently, Armenia has no railway communication with Russia. “This connection can be created through the territory of Azerbaijan. Armenia also has no railway communication with neighboring Iran. Through Nakhchivan, this connection can also be provided,” the president noted.
