/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey is interested in the establishment of
railway communication with Georgia and Azerbaijan, Turkish President
Ahmed Necep Sezer stated in Tbilisi. “We continue the works for the
realization of the Kars-Akhalkalaki railway project.
We wish this main to supplement the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil
pipeline and the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzerum gas pipeline,” Mr. Sezer said
at a briefing after the meeting with Georgian President Mikhail
Saakashvili. When touching upon the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil
pipeline Mr. Sezer said the ceremony of the first tanker loading
will take place in Ceyhan this summer. He also invited Saakashvili
to participate in the ceremony, reported ITAR-TASS.
To note, Armenia rates the construction of the Baku
-Tbilisi-Akhalkalaki-Kars as economically inexpedient, since the
project is a counterbalance to the existing Kars-Gyumri-Tblisi-Baku
railway.
