    SECURITY COUNCIL CHIEF HAILS ABKHAZIA RAILWAY DEAL, GEORGIAN MP SURPRISED

    September 6, 2013 - 18:56 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Russia, Georgia and Abkhazia reached an agreement
    to open Abkhaz railway, National Security Council Secretary Artur
    Baghdasaryan said in interview with Novosti Armenia.

    "We have consent from the Georgian party, Russia and Abkhazia also
    agree. But this is an ongoing process and we have to understand
    that there are conflicting parties. The most important thing is that
    there's political will to open the railway", Baghdasaryan said.

    As he noted, development of railway communication was discussed at the
    September 3 meeting between Presidents of Russia and Armenia Vladimir
    Putin and Serzh Sargsyan, where Russia expressed readiness to carry
    out large-scale financial investments in Armenia's railway.

    Meanwhile, a Georgian parliamentarian Victor Dolidze stated that
    through the opening of the railway was discussed in Georgia, no
    decision was passed.

    He further ruled out the possibility of the decision above at the
    governmental level.

    Restoration of a railway between Georgia and Russia through Abkhazia
    will benefit everybody, however, some time is necessary for the
    process to launch, Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili said
    in early 2013.

    "Nothing will be done to the detriment of the country. Restoration
    of the railroad will benefit everyone. The impact will be positive,
    but things will take quite some time. The process will be implemented
    in stages in order to prevent complications," he said.
