2021-12-15 00:06:04 Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev tried to equate the Lachin corridor with the so-called "zangezur corridor"

“As for the legal aspect of the regime of the checkpoint of the Zangezur corridor, it should be completely similar to the regime of the Lachin corridor.

Turkey closed its border with Armenia in 1993 to protest Armenia’s war with Azerbaijan at the time, which ended a year later.
