Is opening of extraterritorial corridor through Syunik among  preconditions for normalization of Armenian- Turkish relations?

ArmInfo.  The opening of an extraterritorial corridor through Syunik for Armenia is one of the preconditions for the normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations. This is evidenced by the statements made by the Turkish Ambassador to Azerbaijan Birol Akgun in an interview with APA.

The Turkish diplomat noted that the processes of normalization of  relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia and Turkey and Armenia  should be considered in a comprehensive manner and they are  proceeding in parallel.

In this vein, he recalled that in 2022, special representatives for  the process of normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia  were appointed.

"Armenia borders Azerbaijan and Turkey to the east and west, these  borders are closed. Everyone will benefit from this peace, but  Armenia will benefit the most. We want to speed up the normalization  process.  If a sustainable peace agreement is signed or initialed and  the conditions regarding the "Zangezur Corridor" are met, the  Turkish-Armenian border can be opened at an appropriate time as a  result of consultations between Ankara and Baku. This will depend on  how the normalization process develops," the diplomat concluded. The  Meghri route is a project for a transport route about 40 km long  through the territory of the Syunik region of Armenia, which would  provide transport links between the western regions of Azerbaijan and  its exclave, the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. The opening of  transport routes in the region was envisaged by point 9 of the  trilateral statement of November 9, 2020 by the leaders of Russia,  Armenia and Azerbaijan. Meanwhile, Azerbaijan is trying to distort  the essence of these agreements and get an extraterritorial corridor.
