Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkey Agree on Construction of Rail Link

The Georgian, Azerbaijani and Turkish sides signed a protocol in Baku on April 6 over the construction of a railway link between the eastern Turkish city of Kars and the southern Georgian town of Akhalkalaki, which will also enable Azerbaijan to gain access to its strategic partner, Turkey, via Georgia.

According to the Georgian Railway Department, a joint Azerbaijani-Georgian-Turkish venture will be set up, with its headquarters in Istanbul, to implement this project, which, according to preliminary calculations, will cost USD 400 million.
