The debate about the road through Syunik is back in the spotlight

October 2025 brought a new wave of discussions on the idea of ​​a transit corridor through Syunik: on the one hand, it opens up economic prospects; on the other hand, it creates strategic risks for Armenia and changes the balance of security on the southern borders. Discussions at international forums have shown that any plans require legal guarantees about the inviolability of the protected area and the rights of the local population. Local residents and environmental groups are warning of threats to agriculture and biodiversity if the corridor is built without proper assessments. Political leaders of neighboring countries see the project as a chance to strengthen transit ties, but its implementation depends on broad international agreement and guarantees of the inviolability of borders. October confirmed that economic projects in the region cannot be considered without taking into account the political and environmental consequences.
