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 firmly rejected by the Armenian government over sovereignty concerns.
The idea has triggered a wave of conflicting reports, denials, and geopolitical anxiety, with Russia and Iran expressing strong opposition to increased US involvement in the region. The corridor is seen as a critical economic and strategic link, with potential to shift regional alliances and diminish Russian influence. While some media outlets claim Armenia secretly agreed to US control, Armenian officials have repeatedly denied any such deal.
The controversy highlights the corridor's role as a new fault line in Eurasian geopolitics, drawing in major powers and raising the stakes for regional stability.
