- Turkiye and Iraq to Build $17 Billion Asia-Europe Corridor | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has signed an agreement with Iraq, Qatar and the UAE to build a $17 billion economic corridor between Asia and Europe. The proposed corridor will be made up of railways and highways, and will connect southern Iraq to Europe via Turkiye. The agreement was signed by Erdogan during his first visit to Iraq since 2011. At the G20 last year, India and Arab Gulf states had announced a similar corridor passing through Israel. With the war in Gaza delaying the India-Europe corridor, Erdogan is pushing for the Iraqi corridor as an alternative to the Suez Canal which has been the traditional trade route between Asia and Europe. Palki Sharma tells you what this project means for Iraq, Turkiye and the region.

It's far more better than signing military agreements 😢😢
The area of I5rael, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria up to Sinai has the potential to become an area of long and intense war. This has been stated in the Bible and the Torah. The Arab region, especially Iraq, should become more prosperous and rich if all the Sunni and Shiite people work together to live in harmony and increase prosperity instead of increasing the crisis.
@@ahmadmann5803 keep living in past, whereas those ruling you think of future
It is a military agreement when the ultimate result is to suppress Kurdish rights.
@@ahmadmann5803 Iraq has began to put its sectarian differences away since they almost did not exist before the US led invasion other than friendly discussions between neighbors and scholars to better understand one another.
While this happens America fighting for lgqtb rights😂😂
Still USA is way better than these countries
Still these Arabian countries are puppet of USA.

So truth.
True. US embassy is causing too many problems in Albania from intervene into inferior politics to creating electoral and jurisdictional "reforms" by even violating the Constitution. Sor0s OSF is behind that too, in collaboration with EU and USAID.
Turkey’s geopolitical advantage is a great advantage. Whatever you do you will have to include Turkey. It is no wonder why they have been involved in numerous wars to keep this great country..
poor turkish dreamer kid, 17 billion wasted money wont save you misrable people. India already have a deal.
The Turkish Iraq corridor make sense
The Iraq to Turkey corridor makes more sense.
less Middle country more flow of logistics
Or Iraq to Syria. Or Iran to Azerbaijan to Russia.
The road may and do pass Turkey entirely in several options available.
When you consider there is currently no road and railway and port and has to be built from scratch and is longer that Israel one, and also ISIS , it will make less sense😂😂
it can also link to the levant but syria is less stable than Iraq
They are dreaming how they could connect Asia and Europe without turkey ?

@@schloops8473 I dont like the guy at all, but yes. This bypasses the iranian-israel conflict while at the same time exploiting the pause of IMEC.
Meaning he is basically exploiting the war for strong gains. My guess is tho, that several different groups will try to interfere with the route becoming reality.
This Turkiye Iraq corridor is beneficial with Roads and railways for trade and commerce . We must be cautious with the elements that rise up in these corridors under planning requiring Billions of dollars. We must weigh the investment aspect against the security aspect before construction of all corridors. Great Report Palki.

Exactly!! 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
This was the most accurate comment.
Makes sense. India should find a way to extend the railway to it
The corridor is squarely aimed at nullifying IMEC but many prob stand out- 1) how will they ensure security particularly in Iraq especially in north where Kurds live, who don't like to take orders from Baghdad and section of whom hv bn at war with Turkey 2) will Qatar and UAE fund entirety of it since both hv diff geopolitical objectives and Turkey is facing dire financial crisis. The project hs toom many pitfalls😮
Then wait , see and learn...
Great for the belt and road project.
So, the mad man in Turkey is suddenly sane now.
Anyways, all sorts of economic prosperity are appreciated.

Another win for Erdogan, another loss for USA, India and Israel for excluding Turkey from the economic corridor they built to challenge China's Belt/Road initiative. Turks will always find ways to outsmart you lol keep under-estimating your opponents. Next up will be the Middle corridor, Zengezur AZ-TR partnership.
Joke of the day 😂
India should also be included in this corridor to benefit its economy and people subsequently
First fix your broken roads in india 😂😂 poor
👏👏👏👏👏
The Iran corridor Russia links to turkey Iraq corridor. Then the Chinese come from their side via Afghanistan Pakistan and link in to Iran Russia corridor and straight in to Iran -turkey corridor. You guys see the big picture. The belt and road southern route of the Chinese plans. Why do you think this guys enter and expand BRICS 😂😂😂😂😂
The US wont like that 😂😂
The era of the USA is now ending.
it's realy the iranian regime that won't like it
and when it doesn't like countries having trade deals, it uses it's terrorist groups so we'll have to see if it wil be scared of antagonizing yet more countries
Ameika will bring them democracy
This weakens the potential of trade relations between Israel/Saudi/India, giving them weaker bargaining chips.
Why you ask? Well because previously a similar corridor was planned to go through those countries. Then oktober 7th happened.
This makes Erodogan and Turkiye currently the ones benefitting the most from the regional conflicts.
Asia Europe corridor wouldn't be geographically viable if the corridor starts from India without Pakistan. . How do you make a road link between India and Saudi Arabia without the land of Pakistan ???
Erdogan was against IMEC from the very beginning, but in the end it turned out that what he said was logical.
Shortest and most effective road will be Iraq-Turkiye-Europe corridor.... Oman,UAE,Saudi Arabia, Qatar,Kuwait connected easily with this corridor.... India should work for this.... IME corridor is not realistic or cost effective bez of double shipment.... India to Dubai then it will pass huge Arabian desert... Then Tel Aviv to Europe.... It's totally unrealistic project...
R u mad their is railway line from uae, saudi, Israel and to Greece(waterway) which connect Europe, turkey has old habits of backstabbing it's allies.
The fall of middle East occurred when maritime trade bypasses it between Europe and far East.
Maybe this project may help resuscitate it.
New trade routes mean new superpowers.
Do you really think it will work 😂😂
@@krishankumarmeena2882 it will dear indian it will.

I'm talking about what happened in history for those who don't think ahead. There are many things that you mock and say would never happen.
With Houti in golf and Aden you can say bye bye to the corridor via Israel. So this corridor is better and the Emirates are in both because first route can go to Emirates. 😂😂🎉🎉. This route is better even for India trade
Don't be surprised if a war starts out of nowhere to disrupt the project if it really goes into construction .
The real future is in Africa by the way , Europe is a dying continent 😅

The Iraq corridor is more than just a road. Iraq is building the development road project which is meant not only is road and railway infrastructure, it includes industrial cities and new urban developments to already existing cities. This will help serve tens of millions of people and create hundreds of thousands of jobs. The Saudi corridor is a petty corridor pushed by the US to serve Israel. It goes largely through uninhabited desert and takes a long route. A true corridor would consist goring through Iraq and branches out from Mosul into Syria to the Mediterranean and Turkey via land to Europe.
there's room for 2 corridors, no problemo. China can pound sand though
This corridor project can only be successful if peace prevails.As long as there are conflicts...
If there is Turkiye, there is peace.
this corridor could also bring peace. At the end of the day, it will depend on if the iranian regime orders it's terrorists groups to attack it but that would be a very risky move that could antagonize another bunch of countries letting the iranian regime very isolated
@@TUR7777u meant to say..peace like that from peaceful?
@@HimanshuMahajan-zn3nq There are many hindu extremists in inddia like MONU MANESAR
Bypassing turkey will be better idea. Reasons
1. It is longer. Means more cost.
2. Iraq has no infrastructure. So, has to be from scratch. More time consuming.
3. Iraq is a war zone. It's simply unstable for trade and prosperity.
India- middle east- Europe is best. Only one problem is gaza.
Good development for business.
Fuck war from Türkiye
We want peace
Peace = growth = bigger economy = stronger army

Why do you keep calling Iraq War torn I think that's a wrong perception about Iraq the country is just peaceful and beautiful though there are still some pockets occupied by militias
How to move it fast? Get the Chinese involved and it will b done before you know it
Does the world really require so much connectivity. Are these corridors really sustained Mable exonomally
After Gaza happening, Israel has become untouchable at present.
What about a USA proposal to connect India to Europe? .......... Yes India, Palki.
Is it another pie-in-the-sky which USA draws to please India?
USA went around the world making proposals and very seldom materialize.
Has anyone heard any follow up to the BUILD BACK BETTER WORLD?
Are the monies promised to Africa, to Latin Americas, to the Pacific Islands, to South-East ASIA and elsewhere still in the mails?
Um just saying go through 2 conrty is shorter and les expensive then 5 contrties that ae not even connected by land.
Great reporting

India - Middle East and Europe Economic corridor will impact this project. Maybe Turkey has Geographical advantage but GeoPolitical instability. Specially detoriating relations with Europe and US might hamper this project. Currently Isreal and Gaza war brought instability in Mediterranean region so Erdogan is trying hard to save his Shrinking economy but it will only work when stability will be restored and cooperations and relations will improve between Turkey and Europe.

Ordogan almost always is the last card of American as it happened in Afghanistan but Taalibaan rejected the presence of NATO through Ordogan.
No. Turkey rejected it because they had the condition they'd only help the Americans if they stopped supporting ypg.
Taliban is not stupid. Qatar, China and Turkey were their only hope of being quickly accepted as the legitimate govt by the US (something which still hasn't happened) hence why no nation recognises them yet
Firstpost , Good Report. However Turkey's capital Istanbul not only connects Europe with Asia but also Africa with Russia(thus 4 continents) .
Do remember that this was the city " Constantinople" which once was Capital of Europe ( Joint Roman Empire under Constantine I ) .
This was also the city that caused Napoleonic Europe to go to war with Tsarist Russia destroying their alliance to conquer the world !
Turkey's capital is Ankara not Istanbul.
Poor geography. Train yourself before preaching.
With CPEC all the way from Pak to China this could open so many ways for the region
Egypt’s trade route? On noooo the canal???!!
Where is the corridor signed by India and the US?
As an Indian, I don't see any problem with it!
Since, when did we Indian start to see any projects like this as a competition, we are not like chinese. We shouldn't be insecure. As this project too will help us incase IMEC isn't successful because of the conflicts.
I respect UAE too for participating! I don't understand this anchor's frustration, why does India has to be a part of everything for it to be considered good. If India isn't part of something doesn't mean it's a challenge to India.
India will never be disppointed for a project that brings prosperity in a region & their people! Jai shree ram🚩
Yup India is also part of North-South International Transport Corridor with Russia.
