MOSCOW, NOVEMBER 1, NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan
Oskanian raised the issue of Kars-Akhalkalak-Tbilisi railway during
the 15th meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Black
Sea Economic Cooperation Organization (BSEC). "The BSEC intends
to implement a serious program - to create a transport link in the
region. In this context, an issue was raised and brought to everybody's
attention: there is a railway section that is not used for political
reasons and an attempt is made to replace it. Given the cooperation
spirit of the organization, we believe that the organization should
itself raise this issue before Turkey so that more serious approach
can be shown," V. Oskanian told Radio Liberty.
