YEREVAN (YERKIR) – Conclusion of an agreement on the
Kars-Akhalkalaki-Baku railroad is an urgent problem for the Armenian
diplomacy, RA Deputy Foreign Minister Arman Kirakossian told a news
conference in Yerevan.

`Turkey calls the project `Ankara-Baku trunk railway.’ Actually, it’s
a continuation of Turkey’s policy targeted at Armenia’s isolation.

To counterbalance the project Armenia should reinforce activities
within international structures to prevent any financing by the U.S.,
EU or other interested bodies,’ he said adding the project is first of
all a political one. ` It’s profitable for Turkey, Georgia and
Azerbaijan but I don’t think Armenia may face complete isolation. We
have railway communication with Georgia and Iran as an outlet to the
world markets,’ Kirakossian said.
