Turkey welcomed, today Saturday, the peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia, stating that it hopes to soon open the planned strategic transit corridor, which would enhance energy and other resource exports across the South Caucasus.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a peace agreement mediated by the United States on Friday, during a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. The agreement also included exclusive rights for the United States to develop a transit corridor through Armenia connecting Azerbaijan to the Nakhchivan region, the Azerbaijani enclave bordering Turkey, Baku's ally.
The transit corridor, which will pass near the border with Iran, will be named "Trump's Road to International Peace and Prosperity" and will be operated under Armenian law.
Turkey has strongly supported Azerbaijan in its conflicts with Armenia, but it has pledged to restore relations with Yerevan after signing a final peace agreement with Baku.
In his statements, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the corridor could "connect Europe to the depths of Asia through Turkey," and would be "a very beneficial development."
