Armenia might benefit from the Karsi-Akhalkalaki-Tbilisi-Baku railway

Former Foreign Minister of Armenia Vardan Oskanian thinks that the construction and operation of the Karsi-Akhalkalaki-Tbilisi-Baku railway would cause no more negative results for Armenia than the closed Armenian-Turkish border does.

Moreover the former Minister thinks that Armenia can use this railway connection with Turkey, which passes through Georgia as it has been using the motorway connection. He says that Turkey has realised that blocking the border is not effective, and that’s why it has started negotiations on opening the border.
