- Leaked Agreement on Zangezur Corridor Signals Russia’s Waning Grip on South Caucasus
A tentative agreement reported between Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Türkiye on the long‑debated Zangezur Corridor marks a watershed moment in the South Caucasus—crystallizing a shift in regional power dynamics as Russia grapples with a faltering economy, its war in Ukraine, and diminishing influence.
Though officials in Yerevan, Baku, and Ankara have yet to confirm details, multiple sources—including Turkiye Today—describe a consensus that a direct rail and road passage will now connect Azerbaijan’s mainland to its exclave Nakhchivan via Armenia’s Syunik region, without Russian control over the route. The corridor promises to link Central Asia and China to Turkey and Europe, bypassing Moscow’s traditional transport monopoly.
This development comes against a backdrop of Russia’s deepening strategic retreat. Once the essential security broker in the region, Moscow has seen its influence siphoned away since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. - Hungary turns against Viktor Orban
