YEREVAN. - The perspectives of an Armenian – Russian railway running through Georgia are very unclear, political scientist Sergei Minasyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am. According to him, Georgia is interested in the fact of negotiations but whether it will make any practical moves is unknown, it all depends from long negotiations.
“Probably, such negotiations, or at least some feelers are already underway. The interview given by Georgian FM Grigol Vashadze during his working visit to Armenia when he spoke about the project, indicate that some talks have been underway,” Minasyan said.
According to the expert, in the context of the specific relations between Moscow and Tbilisi the project looks more ethereal especially when considered the presence of a Georgian – Azerbaijani railway and Georgia’s access to sea.
To note, according to recent media publications, Armenia and Russia are putting pressure on Georgia in order for it to agree to launch the project.
