Azerbaijan wants to implement the Zangezur corridor/Collage 24 Channel Azerbaijan may invade Armenia in the coming weeks. Earlier, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev called on Yerevan to open the Zangezur corridor along its southern border and threatened to resolve the issue “by force.” Russian human rights activist Mark Feigin shared his views withChannel 24on this situation. He believes that a conflict is possible, because the “corridor” will connect Azerbaijan with Nakhichevan and Turkey with the rest of the Turkic world through the city of Syunik in Armenia.

According to Feigin, the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan is not new. After all, similar events occurred earlier in 2020 and 2023.

According to Feigin, he predicted that the next goal of Baku and Ankara will be the Zangezur corridor, connecting mainland Azerbaijan with the exclave bordering Turkey and Iran.
This is logical and obvious, they need to make a corridor to the Republic of Nakhichevan. I do not rule out that military action will occur in connection with the breach of the corridor. They will be new,” said the Russian human rights activist.
Under what conditions can a war begin between Azerbaijan and Armenia
Note that since the end of the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War, Azerbaijan and Turkey have been promoting the concept of the Zangezur corridor, which, if implemented, will connect Azerbaijan with Nakhichevan and Turkey with the rest of the Turkic peace through the Armenian province of Syunik.
As Feigin noted, it could be argued that Nagorno-Karabakh is the territory of Azerbaijan, allegedly occupied by Armenia. Zangezur is a historical region of Armenia, that is, the Zangezur corridor is a violation of international law.
Therefore, I do not exclude that this conflict is possible. Perhaps this is preparing pressure on Armenia so that it will volunteer to provide this corridor, i.e. “Azerbaijan’s passage through Zangezur to Nakhichevan,” noted Mark Feygin.
In the end, if pressure on Armenia from Azerbaijan does not bring the desired result, the war may start again.

Which countries are interested in the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia
According to Feigin, interested Turkey is also a party to the escalation of the conflict. Russia is indifferent to this.
Moscow is openly mocking Yerevan, the Russian human rights activist emphasized.
And he also added that Armenia wants to participate in the International Court of Justice. Because the country will complain about the actions of Azerbaijan. This is probably why Yerevan ratified the Rome Charter.
Armenia was not protected by Russia, so they are trying to bring international law under the events of 2020 and 2023. “I understand the logic,” concluded Mark Feigin.
The conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia: briefly
- Top US and EU officials met with representatives Russia at secret emergency talks in Turkey on Nagorno-Karabakh, just days before Azerbaijan announced “anti-terrorism measures.”
- The Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense announced on September 19 that it was beginning “anti-terrorism measures” in Nagorno-Karabakh… in order to restore the constitutional order.”
- The reason for such actions was violations of the ceasefire by Armenia, Baku said. In addition, a few days before the start of anti-terrorism measures in Azerbaijan, 4 employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were killed due to the explosion of an explosive device.
