Azerbaijani Transport Ministry has released a statement over the
doubts expressed by Georgian PM Bidzina Ivanishvili over profitability
of Kars-Akhalkalak railway project.
Ivanishvili voiced his doubts in an interview to a local TV channel.
`It is beyond doubt that Baku-Tbilisi-Kars is a regional and
international scale railway project with Kars-Akhalkalak sector being
one of its segments. The legal basis of this project is the trilateral
statement of the heads of states and the agreement of Azerbaijani,
Georgian and Turkish governments. On the basis of this agreement the
parties have assumed commitment to implement the project. As it is
known the Azerbaijani government has allocated 775 million US dollar
loan to the Georgian side with privileged terms for the construction
of the Georgian sector,' Namig Hasanov, head of Azerbaijani transport
ministry's press service told Trend news agency.
According to him, many countries of Central Asia and Europe are very
interested in the project and assist its implementation.
Azerbaijan says the project will become an important part of regional
security as well.
`Azerbaijan has always carried out its international commitments and
expects same approach by the other parties of the project,' Hasanov
said.
