The 46th President of the United States Joe Biden is deeply convinced that the democracies of the world must unite to face the common challenges together. It is no coincidence that during the presidential campaign, the unification of the world's democracies on one platform was a priority for Biden. The goal was to organize a Democracy Summit in the first year of his tenure. Adhering to its promise, Biden will hold the first summit of Democracy on December 9-10, which will be followed by the second offline Summit exactly one year later.
In the framework of this article, the origins and goals of the summit will be revealed, as well as the rationale behind the selection of the participating countries. Full material is only available in Armenian․
In recent months, Azerbaijan and Turkey have been actively lobbying the so-called "Zangezur Corridor" at various international platforms.
In doing so, they skillfully disguise their political aspirations to build a corridor through the sovereign territory of Armenia with an economic rationale, trying to create an impression among the international community that this corridor will bring significant benefits to the East-West trade and cargo transportation.
As a result of this analysis, based on the study of the congestion and economic efficiency of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway, we came to the conclusion that the so-called "Zangezur Corridor" or Nakhichevan Corridor has no significant economic value. This is a purely political project that aims to serve the pan-Turanian programs and geopolitical interests of Turkey and Azerbaijan. Full material is only available in Armenian․
