Baku, February 10, AssA-Irada — The working group on the
Gars-Akhalkalaki-Tbilisi railway project will meet in Tbilisi, Georgia
on February 28-29, the State Railway Office (SRO) told AssA-Irada. The
meeting was originally scheduled for February 7-8 but later postponed
since the Turkish delegation was unable to arrive in Tbilisi due to
poor weather conditions.

The participants will discuss establishing a consortium on the
construction of the railway and consider documents to be discussed
in a meeting of the working group due in Turkey this April.

A final document on the railway construction is to be signed in Turkey.

An Azerbaijani delegation led by chief engineer of the SRO Gurban
Nazarov will attend the meeting.

The activity of the working group comprising experts of Azerbaijan,
Turkey and Georgia is coordinated by the three countries’ deputy
transport ministers.*
