The transport corridor North-South “is actively developing and
already the operational project,” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister
Viktor Kolyuzhny said on Monday. Russia and Iran initiated the
creation of the corridor.
“The project is operational, evokes great interest, but additional
efforts to create the fleet of ferry boats and unify the tariff
policy of states concerned will be needed,” he emphasised.
Meanwhile the deputy minister noted that many countries wish to join
the project. “Russia has already considered and put forth a proposal
to include Azerbaijan and Armenia in the project,” the diplomat
pointed out.
