The commissioning of the Zangezur corridor will reduce transportation distances, logistics costs, and the number of border crossings for Azerbaijan's cargo shipments to Europe, Secretary General of the Azerbaijan International Road Carriers Association (ABADA) Kenan Gurbanov told journalists, APA-Economics reports.
According to him, once the corridor becomes operational, the main priority will be to maximize the simplification and digitalization of border-crossing procedures along the route, as well as integrate innovative solutions already applied on other transport routes into this corridor.
It was noted that the completion of the process is currently awaited, after which significant positive changes are expected in the cargo transportation sector.
It was stated that Azerbaijan's cargo transportation to Europe is currently carried out mainly via Türkiye through Georgia or Iran. With the opening of the Zangezur corridor, Azerbaijan will gain direct access to Türkiye through its own territory, which will make it possible to establish a shorter and more efficient logistics route to European markets.
According to Kenan Gurbanov, the new route will increase the speed and efficiency of cargo transportation by reducing transportation distances, transport costs, and the number of border crossings.
