For the Turkish world, it represents not only logistics but also leadership and a strategic role in the global economy,” Vasa emphasized. Through the OTS framework, the corridor helps institutionalize and formalize centuries-old cultural and historical ties among Turkic states. The Middle Corridor thus exemplifies how regional infrastructure projects can serve broader geopolitical and socio-economic objectives, enhancing connectivity while strengthening the strategic and cooperative capacity of the Turkic world in the 21st century.
