Erdogan: Cooperation between Turkey, Azerbaijan and Armenia will reach a new level

The Zangezur Corridor is a peaceful project for the entire region.

This was stated by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in his speech after the Cabinet of Ministers meeting.

According to him, after the full implementation of the project with all its elements, cooperation between Turkey, Azerbaijan and Armenia will reach a new level.

"The 224 km Kars - Igdir - Aralik - Dilucu railway line will become the backbone of the Zangezur Corridor. It will be double-tracked, electrified and equipped with signaling. This line will transport 5.5 million passengers and 15 million tons of cargo per year. With the commissioning of this project worth 2.4 billion euros, the international trade route from China to Great Britain will become more efficient. The project will also connect the Caspian and Mediterranean sea basins," he said.

The Turkish leader emphasized that the Zangezur Corridor is of strategic importance for Turkey and the South Caucasus region.
