Volume of transportation through the North –South corridor isn't corresponding to the potential of Azerbaijan, Russia and Iran, Russian Deputy Prime Minister of Transport Dmitry Zverev during an event dedicated to the prospect of the development of North–South International Transit Corridor, Trend reports.
According to him, North-South International Transport corridor is the shortest route for transporting goods in various directions.
