The Corridor Trap
The Washington rollout promised prosperity and "soft deterrence," anchored by a 99-year U.S.-Armenia joint venture to run a commercial rail link "under Armenian law."
However, the architecture that matters — jurisdiction, enforcement, suspension — was pushed into future commissions and side texts. The design codifies Armenian concessions now while deferring the clauses that would protect sovereignty later.
That's not a win-win; it's compellence with better lighting.
In practice, it de-links human security from economic benefits and leaves Azerbaijan's pressure tools intact.
