The project of construction of the Kars-Tbilisi-Baku-Akhalkalaki
railway will be accomplished even without US support. Georgia,
Turkey and Azerbaijan possess enough means to accomplish the project,
political scientist Haledin Ibrahimli told "Novosti Azerbaijan,"
commenting on the US Congress Subcommittee decision to block the
financing of the rail project "I expected that the events would
develop this way, since initially, when the project was announced,
US spoke against it, but it will change nothing," Ibrahimli said. In
his opinion, this decision of the Congress is the continuation of
the balanced US policy.
"The US is aspiring to hold its positions both in Azerbaijan and
Armenia, thus trying to bring the latter out of the field of Russian
influence, which has not yielded any fruit yet," the Azeri political
scientist added.
