"Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey, who are included in the TRACECA,
support the Baku-Tbilisi-Akhalkalak-Kars railway project. However,
the European Union does not support the idea, " National Secretary of
TRACECA Intergovernmental Commission of Azerbaijan Akif Mustafaev said,
Azeri APA agency reports. In his words, the EU does not want Armenia
to stand apart from regional projects. The EU demands to continue
construction of the railway passing through Armenia instead of the
Baku-Tbilisi- Akhalkalak-Kars. "It is, however, impossible before the
settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. The fact that separate
countries do not wish to finance the project will have no impact on its
accomplishment. Countries participating in the project have already
expressed willingness to provide means for implementation of works,"
Mustafaev declared. To remind, the project costs about $350 million.
