the Kars- Tiflis- Baku railway line, which by passes Armenia. The
line is expected to be finished in two years.

The first step for the Kars- Tiflis- Baku railway line project named
‘Iron Silk Road’ has been taken. Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoðan,
the Azerbaijani president Aliyev and the State President of Georgia
Saakaþvili signed a historical agreement of the rail way line of Kars-
Tiflis- Baku which bypasses Armenia. The project is anticipated to
be finished in two years and around $420 million will be spent.

Armenia has been trying to prevent the the Azerbaijani president
Aliyev and the State President of Georgia Saakaþvili to sign the
historical agreement, as the new Kars- Tiflis- Baku railway line,
which drives out the Armenian rail way line between Kars- Tiflis-
Baku as the line is planned to be disposed of. However, the 14-year
project, which by passes Armenia, will provide railway connection
from Europe to the Middle Asia.
