The Armenian Foreign Ministry is going to launch a serious struggle
against the construction of an “alternative” railway connecting Turkey,
Azerbaijan and Georgia.

First of all Armenia will try to prevent other states from financing
Azerbaijan. Armenia has already proposed to operate the existing
railway lying through the Armenian territory. However the republic
will not be ready to put into operation the road until all the regional
conflicts are settled.

UNDER THE VEIL OF SECRECY

Till today nothing is known about the details of the meeting of the
Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents that took place August 27 in
Kazan. During today’s press conference Vartan Oskanian warned he is
not going to add anything new. “I assess this meeting as positive
though no crucial decisions were made”, he said stressing that the
meeting opened a new possibility for continuing the negotiations.

The formal statement issued by the RA MFA says in part, “Armenia
positively assesses the Kazan meeting and considers that the
negotiations proceed in the right direction. By order of the Presidents
the meetings of the FMS will continue basing on the agreements
achieved in Kazan. The visit of the OSCE Co-Chairs to the region is
also possible.”
