/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijani Premier Artur Rasizade stated
yesterday that efforts to establish a transportation link between
Azerbaijan and Turkey are continuing, and that an agreement on the
Kars-Akhalkkalaki-Tbilisi-Baku railway will be signed in January. The
announcement of the planned agreement on the railway project came
during Georgian Prime Minister Zurab Noghaideli’s meeting with
Rasizade in Azerbaijan. Rasizade also announced that the construction
and preparation work for the Kars-Akhalkalaki-Tbilisi-Baku railway
project are planned to begin in May, reports The New Anatolian.
It’s worth reminding that U.S. President George Bush signed the bill
prohibiting financing construction of the railroad isolating Armenia
from economic and regional transport corridor.
