The Caucasian Journal featured the views of Dr. Marek Dąbrowski, a fellow at CASE – Center for Social and Ecomonic Research and a Non-Resident Scholar at Bruegel, on the recently announced Armenia-Azerbaijan TRIPP Agreement, also known as the Zangezur Corridor.
The expert welcomes the possibility of reduced geopolitical risks, open borders, and new investments that could bring growth to the South Caucasus. At the same time, he stresses that Georgia’s role in this process depends above all on whether it can return to its EU integration path, which has been frozen since 2024.
According to him, EU integration would allow Georgia to serve as a durable economic bridge between Europe and its neighbors, offering greater benefits than short-term trade opportunities created by the new corridor.
Dr. Marek Dabrowski also warns that the current declaration is only a first step. The treaty has yet to be signed and ratified, major infrastructure projects will take time, and regional actors such as Iran and Russia may seek to undermine the peace process.
