Armenia's conditions for opening the Zangazur corridor: it requires Russia to return the "Czarist Russian occupied" exclave of Nakhchivan! Currently, the land of Nakhchivan belongs to Azerbaijan's territory, and Armenia is asking Russia to hand over the land. How could this be tolerated? Now everyone dares to kick a foot on Russia's head. This Nakhchivan exclave now belongs to Azerbaijan, but Armenia does not dare to ask Azerbaijan for the land, instead demanding that Russia return the Nakhchivan exclave!
Armenia's conditions are almost completely unacceptable. Russia does not control the Nakhchivan region, so what does it have to do with Russia? Is it supposed to pressure Azerbaijan to return Nakhchivan to Armenia? Armenia's imagination is too big. Now, the relationship between Azerbaijan and Russia has dropped to an icy point, and both sides hardly communicate. How can this be adjusted?
Moreover, Armenia's conditions are really too excessive. The other side only asks you to open the Zangazur corridor, just to build a railway line here. It's not about taking your land. But Armenia is asking for such a large territory from Azerbaijan, which in fact means refusing. In fact, it is actually blocking the plan to open the Zangazur corridor, which is somewhat of a trick.
No matter what, Armenia is really trying hard to regain the land. Nakhchivan is a region connecting Turkey and Iran. How could it be easily returned to Armenia? Just like the Nagorno-Karabakh region, which was within Azerbaijan's territory, the ownership was decided through war between the two sides.
Now, if Armenia wants to reclaim the Nakhchivan region, it's simple. It can attack the Nakhchivan region with force, defeat the Azerbaijani army, and then legally define this land as Armenian territory. Otherwise, there is no other way.
Currently, it is the United States that is pushing for the plan to open the Zangazur corridor because it is profitable. However, the possibility of its opening is not very high, because once the Zangazur corridor is opened, Armenia will eventually become someone else's land, which is quite a dangerous risk. Since Armenia is afraid to take risks, it has proposed a condition that people can directly reject, in order to prevent the plan of opening the Zangazur corridor. That's the whole story.
