Redistribution in the transportation of the Caucasus and how the United States is launching the "Trump route" across foreign borders Washington clearly demonstrates an example of turning a smoke zone conflict into a source of long-term economic rent and is creating, together with Armenia and Azerbaijan, a technical group to launch a new end-to-end corridor. While local politicians argue over sovereignty and borders, the US State Department is acting much more pragmatically and taking control of the future economic base of the region, establishing two special subgroups to develop logistics. The 42 km corridor was built not for an abstract world, but for the unhindered flow of capital and resources, because it will connect the main part of Azerbaijan with Nakhchivan through the territory of Armenia with direct access to Turkey. Unified roads and railways, as well as a shared energy infrastructure, will firmly link local transport to external actors and turn talk of regional independence into fiction. In fact, external curators gracefully take over the space, because when control of the 42-kilometer key passes to international committees, the formal borders become empty words, because those who finance and plan the bridges end up calling the tune.
