/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azeri MPs ratified Tuesday an agreement on
construction of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railroad and also approved
the Tbilisi Memorandum "On Common vision of regional cooperation"
between Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey.
Milli Mejlis vice-speaker Valikh Aleskerov noted that the
Baku-Tbilisi-Kars project is no less important for the region
than Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline or Baku-Tbilisi-Erzrum gas
pipeline. The railroad construction promotes development of the
region’s infrastructure, he said.
"If 10 years ago a parliament of any state spoke out against the
project we would get frightened. But the rate of development of our
republic provides the possibility to implement this project despite
attitude of other states," Aleskerov said, Day.az reports.
