Why has the agreement not been concluded yet and how can Turkey influence it?

Periodista Digital reported on July 23 that Armenia, Azerbaijan and the United States have probably agreed on a memorandum of understanding on the creation of the Zangezur Corridor, which is called the "Trump Bridge" in the document. According to the memorandum, Armenia will retain sovereignty over this region. However, the corridor itself will be operated by a private American company in accordance with the license obtained.
