Erdogan and Aliyev to discuss Zangezur corridor - Thomas de Waal
Baku/25.09.23/Turan: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan embarked on a one-day visit to Nakhchivan, where he is scheduled to hold talks with President Ilham Aliyev. The Turkish Presidential Administration's Communication Department has revealed that the discussions will primarily revolve around enhancing bilateral Turkish-Azerbaijani relations.
The agenda also includes comprehensive deliberations on prevailing regional and international matters, with a particular focus on recent developments in the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan.
Anticipated on the itinerary is the joint participation of the Presidents of Turkey and Azerbaijan in a significant ceremony: the groundbreaking ceremony for the Igdyr-Nakhchivan gas pipeline and the unveiling of the modernized Nakhchivan military complex.
In a noteworthy observation, Thomas de Waal, an expert at the Carnegie European Center, took to his microblog X to suggest that Turkey and Azerbaijan might issue an ultimatum to Armenia concerning the opening of the "Zangezur Corridor." He stated, "A few days after the military liberation of Karabakh by Azerbaijan, Presidents Aliyev and Erdogan are meeting today in Nakhchivan and, very likely, will present ultimatums to the Armenian government 'to open the Zangezur corridor, otherwise...' with the consent of Russia, troops will be deployed there."
Simultaneously, hearings are reportedly taking place in the Azerbaijani parliament on the topic of "Return to West Azerbaijan: Legal Aspects" as of noon. These discussions pertain to the region encompassing the Zangezur corridor of Armenia.--0--
