Turkey market and transit characteristics: Turkey is a natural bridge between Asia and Europe, spanning both continents, with a customs union agreement with the EU and close trade ties with the Middle East.

The core route is the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR), also known as the "Middle Corridor": China-Kazakhstan-Caspian Sea (Aktau/Kuryk Port)-Azerbaijan (Baku)-Georgia (Tbilisi)-Turkey. The key node is the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars (BTK) railway, a vital link connecting the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean. Turkey's transit advantages include the EU customs union, allowing tariff benefits when entering Europe, and geographical proximity to the Middle East, requiring only an additional 2-3 days for transit.
