July 24, Fineko/abc.az. We are working very actively on the Zangezur corridor, which will be an additional road from Azerbaijan to Türkiye and Europe. About 70% of construction work has already been done in the Azerbaijani territory.

ABC.AZ reports that President Ilham Aliyev was interviewed by the China Media Group media corporation (CCTV).

“So, through Azerbaijan, there'll not be only one route through the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars, but also through the Zangezur corridor. So, all these will create additional opportunities for more cargoes. At the same time the transportation through Azerbaijan will also go through the Georgian seaports. We are looking with big interest at some investment opportunities with respect to that. So, really transportation cooperation will be extremely beneficial for all the countries, but at the same time, which is not less important, it will strengthen ties between the countries. The countries will become more interconnected, more integrated. En route of the corridor, we plan to create a lot of new manufacturing facilities. We don't want only to be a transitor. Yes, it is good from a geo-political point of view. It gives you additional money. We want to create big industrial zones in Azerbaijan and we are actually moving in that direction,” the president said.
