24 July, 2008
Today in the City of Kars the Presidents of Turkey, Azerbaijan and
Georgia announced the start of Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway construction.
In the map of the South Caucasus each of the three presidents fitted
one small railway track showing the way that bypassing Armenia in the
north will link Georgia and Azerbaijan to the eastern part of Turkey.
The 105 km railway is envisaged to be built by 2010 with 29 km passing
through Georgia and 76 km through the territory of Turkey.
The agreement on the railway was signed in February 2007.
