The Zangezur Corridor, a strategic transport project, aims to connect mainland Azerbaijan with Nakhchivan through Armenia’s southern Syunik region. Proposed in the aftermath of the Second Karabakh War, the initiative seeks to ensure direct and unhindered access between the two Azerbaijani territories.

In August 2025, a trilateral agreement, reached in Washington between the United States, Azerbaijan and Armenia, established the framework for opening the corridor. The agreement aims to facilitate trade, transport, and broader regional connectivity.

Once operational, the corridor is expected to strengthen Azerbaijan’s logistical links with Nakhchivan, enhance trade routes between Europe and Asia, and contribute to major infrastructure initiatives such as the North-South and Middle Corridors. It is also projected to bring tangible economic advantages to Armenia through transit revenues and infrastructure investment.

The project has garnered wide international support, including from the Organisation of Turkic States, underscoring its potential to advance regional integration and long-term economic cooperation across Eurasia.
