Trump "Secures" the Zangezur Corridor in South Caucasus, Deepening India's Concerns
The consequences of the "Sindhu Operation" have highlighted India's strategic concerns regarding the proposed Zangezur Corridor (Zangezur Corridor) supported by Azerbaijan and Turkey in Armenia.
What does it have to do with India?
Strategic Relations: India is an important defense partner of Armenia and supports stability in the South Caucasus region.
Trade Ambitions: India is: developing Chabahar Port in Iran; building a transport route through Iran-Armenia-Georgia to Europe, bypassing Pakistan and the Suez Canal.
Concerns: If the Zangezur Corridor bypasses Armenian control, it may: disrupt India's overland trade routes to Europe, reduce Iran's regional corridor, and weaken India's strategic influence.
Larger Geopolitics: The growing influence of Turkey and Azerbaijan in the region worries India, especially because Turkey opposes India's India-Middle East-Europe Corridor (IMEC).
India's Position: India supports Armenia's sovereignty, opposes unilateral actions aimed at: protecting its trade routes, maintaining strategic balance, and countering regional encirclement.
