A US proposal to lease and manage the Zangezur Corridor—a strategic land route through Armenia's Syunik province connecting Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave—has been rejected by the Armenian government over sovereignty concerns. The corridor has become a focal point of international rivalry, with Russia, Turkey, Iran, and Western powers all vying for influence in the region. Reports of Armenia ceding control to the US have been denied by Armenian officials, but the rumors have fueled speculation and heightened tensions. Russia has criticized the US for attempting to usurp the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace process, while Turkey and Azerbaijan push for the corridor's opening. The situation underscores the corridor's significance as a new geopolitical fault line, with potential to reshape alliances and regional power dynamics.
