Russian Ambassador to Georgia Vyacheslav Kovalenko has called for the
soonest resumption of the activity of the quadripartite working group,
which considers railroad traffic across Abkhazia.
"That will meet the interests of Georgia, Abkhazia and the entire
South Caucasus," he told the media in Tbilisi on Monday.
The sides were actively discussing a possible consortium of Georgia,
Abkhazia, Armenia and Russia two years ago. The consortium was expected
to resume railroad traffic across Abkhazia and thus directly connect
Georgia and Armenia to Russia.
"Russia and Abkhazia are not responsible for the delay of this
project," the diplomat said.
"We should resume the activity of the commission as soon as possible,"
he said.
