15 February 2013 - 12:25pm
Georgian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Teymuraz Sharashenidze said today
that other states willing to join the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars Railway
project will need approval of Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey.
Armenia will be able to use the railway from Georgia to Asia Minor as
a freighting route, Armenian Deputy Minister for Transportation
Artashes Avetisyan said. But the two states have not resolved the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Azerbaijani Transportation Minister Ziya Mamedov said that Azerbaijan
was the initiator and financed the project. Exploitation of the
railway by Armenia will still need permission of Azerbaijan, Mamedov
noted.
