The resumption of railroad services through Abkhazia would be extremely
important for Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, the Armenian president currently
visiting Georgia, told journalists on Thursday.
"The opening of this railroad is extremely important to us, and we
are working toward this, but this decision doesn't depend on Armenia
or a Georgian-Armenian agreement. There are other parties with which
it's necessary to work," Sargsyan said.
Georgian First Deputy Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili said the
matter was not discussed during Sargsyan's visit to Tbilisi.
"This is a most complicated issue, both from the political and
technical points of view. We didn't discuss this matter today,"
Kvirikashvili said.
Georgian Ambassador to Armenia Tengiz Sharmanashvili said the problem
of the resumption of railroad services through Abkhazia would be
resolved "exclusively proceeding from Georgia's interests."
