Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Armenia was followed-up
by various comments. Former Russian ambassador to Armenia, Vyacheslav
Kovalenko, in particular, mentioned that restoration of Abkhazian
segment of the railways connecting the South Caucasus with Russia is
an important regional project. Kovalenko expressed optimism that when
this project is implemented, it will facilitate the development of the
entire region. However, in reality, the project faces difficulties
concerning Azerbaijan's position. But still, Kovalenko thinks that
the problem will be solved within the framework of the Customs Union.
Russia plans to involve Azerbaijan in the Customs Union and thus
influence its position.
