BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 31. The opening of the Zangazur corridor is vital for regional stability, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said at a joint press conference with his Azerbaijani counterpart Jeyhun Bayramov, Trend reports.
"We'll go on supporting the revival of Karabakh. A strong Türkiye means a strong Azerbaijan, and a strong Azerbaijan means a strong Türkiye," he said.
The Turkish minister called on the international community to support peace in the region.
The path to stability in the region lies in ensuring peace, Fidan noted.
Proposed by the Azerbaijani side, the Zangazur corridor aims to establish a transportation link between Azerbaijan's mainland and its exclave, Nakhchivan, passing through Armenian territory. This corridor emerged as part of the trilateral agreement signed between Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Russia in 2020 [following the second Karabakh war]. One point of the agreement outlined Armenia's commitment to ensuring the security of transport connections to Nakhchivan, facilitating the unrestricted movement of people, vehicles, and goods in both directions.
On July 31, during Bayramov's visit to Türkiye, he met with his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan.
The meeting followed with a joint press conference between the fraternal countries' ministers.
The visit also schedules Bayramov's meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and other Turkish officials.
