Abkhaz Railway Assessment Proceeds
A group of Russian and Abkhaz experts will continue assessing the current condition of the railway in breakaway Abkhazia on October 10, the Russian Transport Ministry reported.
According to the Russian side, Georgian experts will also join their counterparts from Russia and Abkhazia; however, official Tbilisi has not confirmed this report yet.
Official representative of the Russian Transport Ministry Mikheil Akulov said that the assessment will last until October 16 and will result in the preparation of a final document, including calculations for restoration works.
The joint group of experts has already prepared a preliminary document reflecting the results of the assessment of the nearly 200 kilometer-long railway in the breakaway region.
A group of Russian and Abkhaz experts began assessing the current condition of the railway in breakaway Abkhazia on August 10.
Georgian experts were scheduled to join their counterparts from Russia and Abkhazia on August 9, but, as officials in Tbilisi explain, the Abkhaz side refused to grant entry to several Georgian experts who were internally displaced persons from Abkhazia.
