After the 44-day Second Karabakh War, the relations between Russia and Armenia became strained and there was a coldness between the parties accompanied by mutual accusations. However, the year-by-year increase in trade turnover between Moscow and Yerevan and the forecast that it will reach 16 billion dollars by the end of this year indicate different processes.
Dr. Ahmad Shahidov, a political analyst who was a guest of the “Agenda” program broadcast on ARB24 Television, believes that the relations between Russia and Armenia, as well as the tension shown in recent days between Iran and Russia, are just an imitation, and the main goal is to create obstacles to the opening of the Zangezur Corridor in the region.
Because the opening of the Zangezur Corridor under the conditions desired by Azerbaijan and Turkiye does not serve the interests of Russia and Iran in the region. For this reason, Moscow and Tehran are seriously trying to prevent the realization of this project or to take full control of Zangezur corridor. It seems that the Zangezur Corridor project has become a point of conflict between the interests of major powers in the region even before it has started to operate.
