"The problem of the railway Gyumri-Kars is that of your country. One
can't be so naïve as to think that Georgia can have an influence on
Azerbaijan and Turkey when the OSCE Minsk group cannot do it. The
railway Kars-Akhalqalaq is a sort of hostage in the Karabakh issue. If
you manage to solve the problem, Georgia will be glad, but we will
not interfere with it", the Georgian Ambassador extraordinary and
plenipotentiary to Armenia Revaz Gachechiladze announced in the
National Press Club.
The Ambassador also mentioned that Georgia is not guilty for the
non-exploitation of the railway Gyumri-Kars and it must not become
a reason for depriving Georgia of the Kars-Akhalqalaq railway.
According to him, the Armenian must be very glad as in case the
Kars-Akhalqalaq railway is exploited Akhalqalaq will become a
transitional center, "Just fancy: the railway Paris-Beijing will
pass through Akhalqalaq. This means that there will be new jobs
in Akhalqalaq".
According to Revaz Gachechiladze, Georgia does not have personal
dislike for the national minorities living in Georgia, including the
Armenians. By the way, the Ambassador sympathized with the Armenian
nation in connection with the Armenian Genocide. He mentioned that
after the international situation is cleared up Georgia will do
everything possible for the recognition f the Armenian Genocide. The
Ambassador also referred to the incident in Tsalka as a result of
which an Armenian was killed, "It was an act of hooliganism and has
nothing to do with the Georgian Government. Georgia will not allow
acts of hooliganism towards the representatives of any nation."
