/PanARMENIAN.Net/ “Armenia is not under transport blockade”,
Azerbaijani Deputy Minister of Transport Musa Pakhanov stated, Trend
news agency reports. “If Armenia were under blockade it would not
be able to receive the cargo. Presently Armenia receives the cargo
destined for it via Georgia and Iran. That is why the claims of the
alleged transport blockade of Armenia are not true”, he noted. When
touching upon the new railway route Sukhumi-Tbilisi-Yerevan, M.
Pakhanov said that it’s merely an idea at the moment. “Over the
availability of a number of political problems the project is not
promising, moreover in the soviet period the route for conveyance of
passengers only”, he resumed.
