A US proposal to lease and manage the Zangezur Corridor—a strategic land route through Armenia connecting Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave—has been rejected by the Armenian government over sovereignty concerns. The proposal has triggered a flurry of conflicting reports, denials, and accusations, with some media outlets claiming Armenia secretly agreed to cede control to the US, while Armenian officials strongly deny any such deal. The corridor is seen as a geopolitical flashpoint, with Russia, Turkey, Iran, and Western powers all vying for influence in the region. Russia has criticized the US move as an attempt to usurp the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace process, while Turkey and Azerbaijan push for the corridor's opening. The situation underscores the high stakes and shifting alliances in the South Caucasus, as local and global powers compete for strategic advantage.
