According to available official information, the capacity of the Trans-Caspian transport corridor will be increased to 10 million tons.
The beneficiary countries of the Trans-Caspian Corridor are China, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. "That logistics is also called the Middle Corridor, and it has a strategic significance for Azerbaijan in particular.
"Azerbaijan wants to become an important logistics corridor in the East-West direction, providing its transport, oil and gas and other capacities to the Near-Caspian Turkic-speaking countries, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, in order to exit to Turkey and the EU," wrote the Telegram channel "Republic Square" referring to the topic. .
As for China, the latter has access to the Black Sea ports of Georgia: Batumi, Poti, Anaklia, as well as Turkey through the Middle Corridor through the port of Baku.
The authors of the article note that Azerbaijan, providing its logistics to Turkey, China, and the West, receives economic and political dividends. "At the same time, Azerbaijan wants to become a connecting link between Russia and Iran by implementing the North-South project: railway, highway and gas pipeline."
Logically, Armenia should also be a part of the North-South project on the direction of RF-Georgia-RA-Iran-Persian Gulf-India.
"However, Nikol Pashinyan and his team are worsening the relations with the Russian Federation and the EAEU, at the same time signing agreements with the USA and the EU that give nothing to RA.
The North-South transport project, which would have allowed Iran to go to the Black Sea and Russia through Armenian territory, as well as Russian and Georgian goods to go to Iran and India through Armenia, has not been implemented yet.
The RA authorities are unable to implement serious logistics projects and are talking about the "Crossroads of Peace", which will remain on paper, because Azerbaijan and Turkey do not need it.
"Baku has repeatedly stated that they want to get the so-called "Zangezur Corridor" by peaceful means or by military force," the channel writes.
The authors also emphasize that Armenia is severing its ties with its traditional allies, the Russian Federation and Iran, while receiving nothing from the West. "Against this background, Azerbaijan is deepening economic, energy and transport ties with neighboring Georgia and Iran, Russia, Central Asian countries and Turkey.
And Azerbaijan aims to exclude RA from all serious economic and logistic projects in the South Caucasus, thereby weakening both the economic and military-political potential of RA and promoting emigration from RA.
