Zangazur corridor will ensure the shortest land route from Asia to Europe, said Azerbaijan’s Minister of Digital Development and Transport Rashad Nabiyev, Trend reports.
He made the remarks at the 4th United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) Ministerial Conference on Transport.
"The trilateral Statement among Azerbaijan, Russian Federation, and Armenia signed on November 10, 2020, included a reference to the transportation corridor linking Azerbaijan’s western regions with the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. The creation of this corridor will have an immense effect on the development of transportation for the whole region.
