He said the development of the route would help foster a climate of peace and prosperity in the region, strengthened by the close ties between Azerbaijan and Türkiye.

Zorlu is scheduled to arrive in Nakhchivan at 15:40 local time, where he will hold several meetings. He is expected to continue his visit the following day in the Turkish border province of Igdir.
