Kiro Manoyan, responsible of Armenian Cause Office of the Armenian
Revolutionary Federation (Dashnakcutiun), thinks there are two option
for Kars-Akhalkalak-Tbilisy railway: first, to go for preconditions
of Turkey and operate Kars-Gyumri railway and second, to do the same
without preconditions.

The first option is not acceptable for any political force in
Armenia. Armenia has taken steps towards the second option, saying
the railway may be used one-sided, i.e., Armenia will not use it and
others can. Turkey has not agreed to the proposal which shows that
their disposition is not economic but political.
