President Ilham Aliyev has said the Kars-Akhalkalaki-Baku (KAB)
railroad project – the third large regional project to exclude Armenia
– will be a success despite Armenian efforts to block it.
Armenia is opposed to the railroad project, which envisages the
construction of a railroad connecting Azerbaijan with Turkey via
Georgia. The railroad is expected to boost regional trade and serve
as a link between Central Asia and Europe.
Armenia views the KAB railroad project as a real threat to its
national security. Armenia’s national security guidelines clearly
state that Armenia should try to prevent the project in order to
avoid economic isolation.
