    ARMENIA DECLARES THAT ISSUE OF RESUMPTION OF RAILWAY'S ABKHAZIA
    SECTION WILL BE SOLVED SOON

    by Netgazeti.Ge


    Referring to Armenian sources, the newspaper reports that an important
    declaration might be done in near future regarding launch of Abkhazian section
    of railway.

    Artur Arakelyan, First Deputy Minister of Transport and Communication of
    Armenia, declares that "negotiations are held behind the closed door". "This
    issue is rather political than economical", he points.

    "There are two strongly opposed positions regarding border crossing - Georgia's
    and Abkhazia's - and it is a very sensitive issue for both sides", Arakelyan
    declares and notes that "Armenian, Russian and Georgian presidents emphasize
    importance of this project".

    Regarding funds, which are necessary to resume this section, being idle for more
    than 20 years, Arakelyan assures that "if political aspect of the issue is
    solved, the funding will not be a problem".

    The newspaper reminds that Armenia is blocked by neighboring Turkey and
    Azerbaijan and is very interested in implementation of this project, as it will
    enable direct communication with Russia (published on November 6).
