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).
