Iranian diplomat: It is clear to everyone that idea of  so-called  "Zangezur Corridor" is irrelevant

ArmInfo. It is clear to everyone that the idea of the so-called "Zangezur Corridor" is  irrelevant. Iranian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Seyed Abbas Mousavi stated in an interview with Pars Today.

According to him, instead, the agreement on the establishment of the  Araks Road corridor between Iran and Azerbaijan is relevant. It  represents a great opportunity that should be pursued on the national  and even international agenda.

Mousavi added that after "Azerbaijan's resolution of the issue with  Nagorno-Karabakh," various ideas about peace and a ceasefire in the  Caucasus are put on the agenda. "Meanwhile, Western countries tried  to exclude Iran from the equations of this region and continue to  promote their false 'narratives', but this discussion was removed  from the agenda through a series of measures implemented at different  levels," the diplomat said.

At the same time, he informed that according to the agreement between  Iran and Azerbaijan, a railway bridge will be built across the Araks  River with investments from the Azerbaijani side. This bridge will be  built parallel to the Agbendi Bridge, which is a road across the  Araks River.

Let us note that Azerbaijan, in tandem with Turkey, is trying to get  an extraterritorial corridor through the Syunik region of Armenia.  Such corridor may give them the opportunity to connect Azerbaijan  with its exclave of Nakhichevan at their discretion.
