YEREVAN. - The perspectives of an Armenian - Russian railway running
through Georgia are very unclear, political scientist Sergei Minasyan
told Armenian News-NEWS.am. According to him, Georgia is interested
in the fact of negotiations but whether it will make any practical
moves is unknown, it all depends from long negotiations.
"Probably, such negotiations, or at least some feelers are already
underway. The interview given by Georgian FM Grigol Vashadze during
his working visit to Armenia when he spoke about the project, indicate
that some talks have been underway," Minasyan said.
According to the expert, in the context of the specific relations
between Moscow and Tbilisi the project looks more ethereal especially
when considered the presence of a Georgian - Azerbaijani railway and
Georgia's access to sea.
To note, according to recent media publications, Armenia and Russia
are putting pressure on Georgia in order for it to agree to launch
the project.
