Abkhazia-Georgia rail link “within a year”
The Head of the Russian Railway Gennady Fadeev declared on Thursday
that the basic transport corridor connecting Russia with Armenia
through Georgia can start functioning within a year, Prime News
reports.
Gennady Fadeev told journalists in Yerevan that “from the point of view
of financial and technical opportunities, the
Sochi-Sukhumi-Tbilisi-Yerevan transport corridor can start functioning
within a year.”
Fadeev noted that there was a prospect of increase of the volume of the
Armenian-Russian cargo transportations by means of railway, and also
noted that there was an opportunity to open a ferry link with Russian
port of Caucasus, but that in this issue “the opinion of the Georgian
side” was very important.
