29 March 06
A bill was submitted to the U.S. Senate, barring the United States
assistance with the construction of the Kars-Akhalkalaki-Tbilisi-Baku
railroad. This information was provided to the news agency ARKA by
the Armenian Assembly of America. The authors of the bill are Senators
Rick Santorum and Robert Menendez. Rick Santorum stated that besides
hampering the long-term goals of the United States in the region the
construction of this railroad in the South Caucasus would cause the
isolation of Armenia. He added that the United States policy in the
South Caucasus is directed at fostering partnership and stability,
as well as opening of borders and transport corridors.
