The Zangezur Corridor could go through Iran if Armenia refuses to provide its soil for the transportation route, Turkish Transport Minister Abdulkadir Uraloglu said on TRT television.
"The important question is whether the Zangezur Corridor will go through Armenia. In terms of real geographical conditions, the corridor will be beneficial to any of the territories it passes through. We think Armenia will assess this issue without politically-motivated considerations. Otherwise, a prospect would be raised for the corridor to pass through Iran's borders, as an alternative," Uraloglu said.
The minister said that to a large extent the Zangezur route is already in place, except for some sections of the pathway.
"There is a route that goes from Baku to the city of Khan (also known as Khankendi - TASS). Work is being carried out by a Turkish company to extend it to the Armenian border. There is a route about 110 km long in Nakhchivan, which requires just a little more work on the roads. After that, the route will go to Kars [in Turkey]. There will be 224 kilometers of roads on the Turkish territory," Uraloglu said.
