Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyze the importance of the Zangezur Corridor in the South Caucasus in the context of the Regional Security Complex theory. The literature review was used as a research methodology. It has been concluded in this study that the South Caucasus has the appearance of a complete regional security complex in the context of the security relations between the states it hosts and that both regional powers such as Russia and Turkey and non-regional powers such as the United States of America meet the expected variables in regional security complexes. In this context, it was emphasized that the opening of the Zengezur Corridor will start a new era in terms of regional security in the South Caucasus. The evaluation of the Zangezur Corridor project within the scope of the regional security complex theory constitutes the original value of the study.
