Trans-Caspian International Transport Route

The Middle Corridor, also called the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR), is a trade route from Southeast Asia and China to Europe via Kazakhstan, the Caspian Sea (using train ferries to cross the Caspian), Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. It is an alternative to the Northern Corridor through Russia further to north, and the Ocean Route via the Suez Canal further to the south.
