/PanARMENIAN.Net/ “The EU does not support the project of building
Kars-Akhalkalaki railway, considering it inefficient,” stated a
representative of the European Commission Directorate General for
Transport and Energy. The EU considers Kars-Gyumri-Tbilisi railway,
which makes part of the TRACECA project, to be a more efficient one,
he said. “Azerbaijan and Turkey are participants of the TRACECA and
we have informed these countries on our stand,” the EC representative
stated. He also reported that the EC has received an official letter
from Armenia, displaying Armenian party’s readiness to let transit
cargo pass via Kars-Gyumri-Tbilisi railway through its territory. “This
proposal of the Armenian party gives hope,” the EC representative
stated, reported Mediamax.
