Bagapsh: Railway Reopening More Profitable for Armenia, Georgia, Russia

Abkhaz leader Sergey Bagapsh said at a news conference on July 12 that the resumption of the railway link between Russia and Georgia via Abkhazia is more profitable for Georgia, Armenia and Russia, rather than for Abkhazia, Apsnipress and Regnum reported on July 12. 

?However, if tariffs on freight transportation are acceptable for Abkhazia and if the infrastructure of the entire railway provides for the creation of 1,200 working places, we will agree to resume the railway link,? Bagapsh said, but he did not specify the details surrounded these tariffs.

The Abkhaz de facto President also stressed that if restored, the railway would be used exclusively for freight transportation.
