/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey, who are included
in the TRACECA, support the Baku-Tbilisi-Akhalkalaki-Kars railway
project, however EU does not have a positive stance on the matter,"
stated National Secretary of TRACECA inter-governmental commission
Akif Mustafayev. In his words, the EU does not want Armenia to stay
aside of regional projects. The EU demands to lay a railway from
Turkey to Europe through Armenia in exchange.
"However, it is not possible before settlement of the conflict
in Nagorno Karabakh. The unwillingness of individual states to
finance Baku-Tbilisi-Akhalkalaki-Kars project will not tell on its
implementation in any way. The countries participating in the project
have already indicated their readiness to allocate means for holding
works," Mustafayev states, reports APA.
