The South Caucasus Railway is preparing for the opening of the
Armenian-Turkish border, Executive Director of the Company Shevket
Shaydullin told reporters today, adding that the opening of the border
is not just a new direction of transportation, but also an opportunity
to get to an international arena.
The South Caucasus Railway is already ready for the opening of the
Turkey border. The Akhuryan station will be opened in a month as a
main link for communication with Turkey. Executive Director of the
Company informed today that the prospects of Armenia’s joining the
Europe-Caucasus-Asia corridor are also under discussion.
According to Shaydullin, Armenia has a good chance to become a transit
country for international freights.
The Company still has to clarify the legal bases and methods of
cooperation with the Turkish side.
