/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Secretary of the National Security Council at the
President of Armenia, Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan has answered
affirmatively to a question on possible progress in lifting the
blockade of the Armenian-Turkish border and launching traffic via
Kars-Gyumri route in case of resumption of the functioning of the
Abkhaz part of the Transcaucasian railway. Being asked whether the
Armenian and Turkish parties could make use of the same model,
which is worked over to restore the rail communication through
Abkhazia, S. Sargsyan said, "if Armenia and Turkey had formed an
intergovernmental commission, these issues would be possible to
solve. Unless there is a structure like that I find it hard to speak
about it." It should be noted that a tripartite group of specialists
from Abkhazia, Georgia and Russia works over restoration of the
Abkhaz railway.
The parties have agreed not to link the issue of restoration of
communications with complex political issues, including the return
of refugees, reported IA Regnum.
