President Mikheil Saakashvili will arrive in Kars, Turkey today to
participate in a ceremony marking the start of construction of the
Turkish part of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway.
The presidents of Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia will make speeches
and meet afterwards. The Turkish section, which will be around 70
kilometers in length, will connect Kars in northeastern Turkey to
the Georgian border.
The project was hailed by Saakashvili as a "geopolitical
revolution" last year at the inauguration ceremony of the Georgian
section. However, it is not backed by the US and EU, which are
concerned by the project’s exclusion of Armenia. (Prime News)
