On September 21-22 the Armenian delegation with Gagik Minasyan at the
head participated in the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Parliamentary
Assembly in the Moldavian capital Kishinev.
In the 25th session of social, economic, technological and
ecological issues where the report about the development of regional
sub-structures has been discussed, the Armenian side has adopted
4 offers.
The Armenian managed to convince the participants of the BSEC
Parliamentary Assembly that the construction of the railway which goes
round Armenia is much more expensive that the re-exploiting of the
existing railway Kars-Gyumri-Tbilisi-Baku. "Thus all the 4 countries
of the region will solve the problem of economic integration providing
economic stability", the Armenian delegates said.
Let us remind you that the offered project costs $400 million. With
the re-exploiting of the railway the volume of freight transportation
will increase considerably.
All the 8 members of BSEC were for the re-exploitation of the
existing railway, including Turkey. According to Gagik Minasyan,
in the convention which was adopted in Kishinev the offer of the
Armenian side has been included, and the issue of adoption of the
convention will be discuss in the BSEC plenary session in Tirana on
November 22 where Armenia will preside over the session.
