The energy corridor stretching from Syria to Trkiye, and further from Trkiye to Azerbaijan, holds significant future profitability, US Ambassador to Trkiye Tom Barrack said during the ‘Middle East and Africa 2025’ event hosted by the Milken Institute Analytical Center, Azernews reports.
Speaking at the forum, Barrack underscored Trkiye’s pivotal role in the region, noting that it remains a key country not only for Azerbaijan but also for Armenia. He suggested that meaningful geopolitical shifts could unfold following the signing of a peace agreement between Baku and Yerevan, renewing expectations for the eventual opening of the Armenian-Turkish border.
According to the diplomat, establishing an uninterrupted route extending ‘from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean’ would create a strategic channel that could help address long-standing energy challenges across the region. Such a corridor, he added, would unlock new connectivity opportunities and reshape the regional energy landscape.
