    ARMENIAN MP SUGGESTS USING KARS-AKHALKALAKI RAILWAY

    June 05, 2013 | 15:39

    YEREVAN. - The railway between Kars, Turkey, and Akhalkalaki, Georgia,
    will open in the near future, and Armenian businessmen likewise need
    to make use of this railway.

    Chairman Vardan Ayvazyan of the Armenian National Assembly (NA)
    Standing Committee on Economic Affairs stated the aforesaid at the
    NA on Wednesday.

    According to him, Armenian businessmen pay an extremely high
    fee-i.e., 5.2 cents to transport one ton to one kilometer-for cargo
    transportation abroad.

    In Ayvazyan's words, Georgia is not reducing the fee that is specified
    for the Armenian cargo because its volume is not large, as 1.5 million
    tons are imported and 400 million tons are exported each year.
