/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The railway communication between Georgia and Russia
resumed last Saturday after a 13-year break. The first passenger train
started for Moscow from the Tbilisi central railway station May 27 at
5.15 p.m. The Abkhazian railway sector allowing direct communication
between Georgia and Russia has been not to work since 1992. Presently
the possibility of its restoration is being discussed. In 2005 a
consortium formed by Russia, Georgia and Armenia set the price of
the project at some $200 million, reported Interfax.
