If the United States was actually against the construction of the
Kars-Akhalkalaki-Tbilisi-Baku railroad, Georgia would never take part
in this project, the leader of New Times party Aram Karapetyan says
in an interview with ArmInfo.

The US’ statement that it does not support the project was meant
exclusively for the Armenian lobby of America. In reality, the US
is not against the project. As regards Russia, its approval of the
project was a kind of response to the Armenian authorities for their
flirt with the US and NATO. At the same time, one can be sure that
Russia will never abandon Armenia and will never give it to anyone.

The Americans perfectly understand this and are waiting. That’s why
the appointment of the US ambassador to Armenia is being delayed,
says Karapetyan.
