FT reported on Turkey's promotion of an alternative to the Strait of Hormuz

The Turkish leadership is promoting the Middle Corridor project, which unites Europe and Asia, as an alternative to the Strait of Hormuz. This was reported on April 19 by the Financial Times newspaper.

In addition to Ankara, US President Donald Trump is considered an active supporter of this route, after whom the section of the "Middle Corridor" on the territory of Armenia and Azerbaijan is named. It is assumed that the transport corridor will be launched after the opening of the Alijan border crossing./Margara" on the border of Turkey and Armenia.

"We don't know when the border will open, the date is constantly changing. But everyone thinks it will happen soon," the Turkish border Service told the FT.

Ankara hopes that after the launch of the Middle Corridor, Turkey will become a new transit hub and an "island of stability" against the backdrop of the US-Iranian conflict in the Strait of Hormuz.

The day before, Reuters reported that at least two ships were attacked while trying to cross the Strait of Hormuz. According to the agency, commercial vessels attempting to cross the strait of Hormuz received a radio message from the Iranian Navy, in which they were not allowed to pass through the strait. The incidents were recorded in the waters between the islands of Qeshm and Larak.

On April 18, Ebrahim Zolfagari, a representative of the central headquarters of the Iranian military command Khatam al-Anbiya, said that the Iranian Armed Forces had restored military control over the Strait of Hormuz due to the blockade by the United States.
