Railroad through Georgia has a vital importance for Armenia, Premier
Tigran Sargsyan said in an interview with Russian Moskovskiye Novosti
daily.
"Azerbaijan and Turkey are blocking our borders. International
sanctions are hampering economic relations with Iran. The railway
through Georgia is a priority," he said, adding that the issue was
discussed during his meeting with Georgian PM Bidzina Ivanishvili.
There was not a single issue that the sides failed to reach mutual
understanding on, he assured.
"We were pleased with the position of the Prime Minister of Georgia,
his interest in the resolution of these problems and normalization
of contacts with Russia. We expect that the problem will be solved
in the near future, and for our part we will exert all efforts,"
Sargsyan said.
Speaking about the possibility of solving the Karabakh conflict,
Armenian PM noted this first of all, depends on political will of
Azerbaijan.
"Armenia has always had a constructive position in talks, namely that
the mutually acceptable solution must be found through talks. But,
unfortunately, our neighbors are not ready for this," he said.
Speaking about relations with Turkey, Sargsyan stressed that the
issue felt a strong influence of Azerbaijan who is demanding Turkey's
efforts aimed at isolating Armenia.
