The "corridor" statements of Turkey and Armenia at the UN

"We are waiting for Armenia to fulfill its commitments, especially regarding the opening of the Zangezur Corridor," said Recep Erdogan on September 19, when Azerbaijan, from the same UN podium, was launching a full-scale attack on Artsakh with Turkish drones and Erdogan's sponsorship. along the entire contact line.

After the aggression, when Nikol Pashinyan's neutral position was recorded in practice, on September 21, Erdogan's second statement in New York took place, in which the Turkish president again fully justified Azerbaijan's aggression against the Armenians of Artsakh, adding that it was not directed against Nikol Pashinyan and Armenia.

4 days after Erdoğan's speech at the UN General Assembly, on September 23, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia gave a speech. "The so-called "corridor logic" put forward by Baku and their hidden and open sponsors is aimed at undermining Armenia's sovereignty and territorial integrity and justifying its territorial claims.

The rhetoric they have created, along with Azerbaijan's use of force against both the Republic of Armenia and the people of Nagorno-Karabakh, indicates that the next goal may be to force an extraterritorial corridor on Armenia, a corridor that would pass through Armenian territory but be beyond our control. ", Ararat Mirzoyan declared, insisting that this should be unacceptable for the international community.

The mention of the Turkish Foreign Minister

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey made new statements about Baku's aggression against Artsakh on September 19, Armenia, and the Turkish corridor through the territory of Armenia after the UN General Assembly session in New York and the meeting with the US Secretary of State.

"Some of our Western allies should give more precise advice when guiding Armenia. Otherwise, the advice and support given from outside, which are not in line with the reality of the region, unfortunately bring more chaos and tears instead of solutions," Hakan Fidan stated, before moving on to the main topic.

The former head of Turkish intelligence, who assumed the position of Foreign Minister after the re-election of Recep Erdogan as president and has a reputation for finding excuses for Erdogan's wars, emphasized the latest Erdogan's emphasis on the so-called "Zangezur Corridor". Moreover, actually connecting what happened in Artsakh and what can happen in the territory of Armenia. He starts talking about the corridor when he is asked about Baku's aggression in Artsakh.

"The fact that Azerbaijan has taken "anti-terrorist measures" proves that Baku had no other way to solve the issues. After the ceasefire agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia, the Armenian side did not fulfill some agreements. "Azerbaijan has been waiting patiently for a long time for the opening of the "Zangezur Corridor" and the practical confirmation of its sovereignty in the territories of Karabakh where the Armenian population is," Hakan Fidan stated.

The Turkish media is looking at the direction of the real war

Türkiye, one of the biggest newspapers in Turkey, "War preparations in Zangezur. "Iran and Armenia are accumulating troops" writes that the Armenian forces leaving Artsakh are accumulating in Syunik to prevent the opening of the Turkish corridor. Moreover, the Armenian forces are called "Chets", which translates as gangs, and this edge is more famous from the history of the genocide: the Ottoman Empire released bandits from prisons and formed gangs, Chets, which carried out the Armenian genocide.

The Turkish newspaper even mentions. "According to intelligence data, the real big war will take place on the Zangilan-Zengezur axis."

Sabah, one of the most popular newspapers in Turkey, writes under the title "After Karabakh, it is Zangezur's turn". Now all eyes will be directed towards Zangezur. Because if political determination and military intelligence continue, it is inevitable that Zangezur's longing for more than a century will end in a short time. Both in terms of regional and global changing conjuncture and geopolitical determinism."

The Turkish media TRGTHaber has attached a map in which "Zangezur Corridor" was written all over Syunik. The topic is presented considering the Iranian factor. "Iran's Foreign Minister announced that they will not allow the historical border with Armenia to be closed. Iranian Mejlis deputy Yakub Rezazadeh stated that Azerbaijan should not start a war in the region, otherwise Iran will respond with a ten times greater action, therefore, there is no need to send Azerbaijani soldiers to simply die," writes the Turkish newspaper, trying to blame Tehran for the role of the instigator of the possible war.

The HaberGlobal media representing the Azeri circles of Turkey presents more. Referring to Israel's i24 TV channel, he says: "Iran is interceding for Armenia to buy weapons from India and delivers those weapons to Armenia through its territory." They also present the explanation of this claim: India is arming Armenia because it is against China's use of the "Zangezur Corridor" through the territory of Armenia. The President of Turkey mentioned in his pre-election campaign speeches that it will be possible to reach Beijing through the Turkish corridor.

And the Turkish Star media is ready to use even the American-Armenian community, which is so hated by Turkey, to complete the picture. Translated and presented the article published by the American Armenian weekly The Armenian Weekly: "Zangezur's panic after the operation in Karabakh. "This will be the end of Armenia".

Noting that. "The fall of Artsakh is not the end. It is the beginning. As the President of Turkey mentioned from the podium of the UN, Turkey and Azerbaijan are one nation, two states, they will join each other through the Zangezur Corridor. Next will be Tavush and Sevan. This will be the end."
