Representatives of Iran, along with continuing baseless allegations against Azerbaijan, began making statements that they would bypass the territory of Azerbaijan through Armenia and swim across the Caspian Sea …

It will be very interesting to see this. Brave Iranian officials have become regular visitors to Armenia, they will build alternative roads along the mountain serpentines of Zangezur (Syunik) and pass their heavy “shooting galleries” through narrow bifurcations. Well, leave it … their right … by the way they call it the Armenian Corridor … it is already the Armenian destiny to be a Corridor – either Turkish-Azerbaijani or Farso-Azerbaijani (means the southern Azerbaijanis). – the drivers of the shooting galleries).

For decades, Iran and Armenia signed numerous memorandums of understanding, but that went no further. After Azerbaijan began screening Iranian vehicles on its territory, Iran is trying to create alternatives. Lets see what happens …

And it turns out that in a month all these new roads will rise out of the ice, worse than Oberlars. There the altitude is about 1500 – 2500 m above sea level. You can build a road, it is stupid to pave a dirt road like it is done now, but it will be difficult to follow the road without proper facilities.

The fact that Armenia and Iran decided to invest in the project is good as there will be no excuses for what they could have done but not … let them do, invest, traditional routes change.

Previously, Azerbaijan and Georgia dealt with the development of infrastructures in the region and filled their geopolitical significance with content. Let’s see what comes out of the Iran-Armenia tandem.

In connection with the corridors, tomorrow’s visit by the Indian Foreign Minister to Armenia will be interesting. I’m sure they’ll sign the next Memorandum of Understanding … they understand something, but they don’t know how to do it. Look at the map. After the Taliban in Afghanistan, India closed its physical land route to Europe. They don’t want to send goods through Pakistan. We have to look for alternatives in Iran and (!!!) in the UAE. Incidentally, there is competition here, which can seriously affect the prospects for the Persian Gulf – Black Sea corridor. After the normalization of relations with (!!!) Israel, the UAE have been actively building up trade with ports in the Mediterranean since last year. The UAE-Saudi Arabia-Jordan-Israel-Mediterranean road is also being discussed …

This is so to understand the situation with the choice of India in the Persian Gulf basin: the advanced United Arab Emirates or ossified Iran …
