The concept
Northern Trans-Caspian Transport and Energy Corridor
The proposed Gazakh–Ijevan–Vanadzor–Gyumri–Kars axis would connect Armenia to wider Central Asia–Caspian–Europe flows. The concept combines a high-capacity electrified railway with energy and digital links, intermodal terminals and industrial services. It envisages a phased transition towards a unified 1,435 mm railway gauge in Armenia and Azerbaijan, subject to intergovernmental agreement, feasibility studies and arrangements with neighbouring networks.
