This book explores the Zangezur Corridor—one of the most geopolitically critical regions of the South Caucasus—and the realities of Western Azerbaijan from historical, legal, economic, and strategic perspectives. Following the 2020 Karabakh Victory, as regional balances began to shift, this corridor—designed to establish a direct connection between Turkey and Azerbaijan—emerged not only as a transport route but also as a strategic channel for peace, cooperation, and integration with the Turkic World.

With contributions from expert scholars, this book reveals that the Zangezur Corridor is far more than a mere transit route; it represents a potential turning point capable of reshaping regional geopolitics. Through its comprehensive analysis, which ranges from demographic shifts and international law to power struggles and economic expectations, it stands as an indispensable resource for researchers and policymakers alike.
