Georgia alone cannot permit Armenia to make use of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway, Giorgi Khukhashvili, the Georgian PM’s economic advisor, told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

To note, an Azerbaijani Railways Company representative had recently stated that the aforesaid railway link will be launched at the end of 2014. And the Azerbaijani MFA had stressed its intention to block Armenian companies from making use of this railway.    

“Considering the extremely specific relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the matter is truly complicated because not solely the Georgian, but the Azerbaijani and the Turkish parties will become the cofounders of the operators of the railway. We alone do not set the rules of the game,” Khukhashvili noted.    

Speaking about the prospects of this railway, he highlighted its importance for Georgia and Azerbaijan, and in terms of the regional transportation corridors.
