Abstract

The mutual economic interests of Iran and Turkey have been discussed many times, but creating “Turani Corridor” on the borders of Iran with the South Caucasus region, and the new conditions resulting from it, necessitate the need to explain the issue once again. The question is, how will creating a corridor on the borders of Iran and Armenia and the geopolitical changes resulting from it affect the geoeconomic interests of the two countries? The hypothesis is that Turkey’s current effort to create Turani Corridor will shape the geoeconomic situation in favor of this country by increasing the transit of goods and energy at various domestic, regional, and international levels, leading to losses and threats against the Islamic Republic of Iran at these levels. To explain the issue, the concepts of energy geopolitics and geoeconomics have been used as the focus of theoretical discussion. this study is applied in terms of research type, descriptive-analytical in terms of method, and library and documentary in terms of data collection technique.
