TBILISI. – Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili called the statements by the Georgian PM Bidzina Ivanishvili on re-establishing the railroad with Russia “anti-state.”

“Ivanishvili’s statements, which he made in Armenia, are concerning and do not account for strategic and geopolitical interests of Georgia,” Saakashvili said at a briefing on Thursday.

According to him, there is no necessity for a railroad with Russia, as Georgia already has an alternative enter to Europe through Akhalkalaki-Kars [Turkey], and the route is competitive for Russia.

As the Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier, the Georgian PM has said at a press conference in Armenia that re-establishment of the Abkhazia-Georgia-Armenia railroad is possible and that the Georgian side has always expressed readiness to it.
