Abdulkadir Uraloglu, Türkiye's Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, has disclosed potential start dates for the Zangezur corridor's operations.

Construction of a railway linking Kars to Iğdır, bordering Nakhchivan, is slated to commence by year-end, with a projected completion span of five years. This railway segment forms a crucial component of the Zangezur corridor, News.Az reports citing Caliber.az.

Uraloglu revealed these plans during an interview on TGRT Haber TV channel. He highlighted that the tender for a 224-kilometre railway in eastern Türkiye was initiated earlier this year, with financing negotiations currently underway. "The construction, from Kars to the Dilju border crossing with Azerbaijan, is estimated to take about 5 years," the minister stated.
