The Zangazur Corridor, part of the Middle Corridor, will play a
crucial role in the development of the Turkic world, Binali
Yıldırım, head of the Council of Elders of the Organization of
Turkic States (OTS), said during a symposium at Selcuk University
in Türkiye, Azernews reports.
“The Zangezur Corridor is of particular importance for the
future of the Turkic world,” Yıldırım said, noting that the route
between Azerbaijan’s western regions and the Nakhchivan Autonomous
Republic will help use the Turkic world’s resources for the welfare
of its peoples.
Touching on trade, he said that despite a total foreign trade
turnover of $1.1 trillion between Turkic states, only $70 billion
falls on mutual trade.
Yıldırım also highlighted the need for full use of the 34-letter
common Turkic alphabet. “Everything depends on the political will
of individual countries and their efforts to implement it. This
will take time,” he said.
He added that preparing textbooks on common history, simplifying
customs procedures, and developing infrastructure are also key for
Turkic integration.
