    Abkhazia ready to open railway running through its territory - Armenian MP

    10:13, 26.08.2014


    The restoration of the Russia-Georgia-Armenia railway link definitely
    will be included on the working agenda of the Abkhazia leadership.

    The Abkhazian parliament's Armenian member Levon Galustyan told the
    aforesaid to Armenian News-NEWS.am, commenting on Raul Hajimba's
    winning the presidential election in Abkhazia.

    He recalled that Hajimba and the other Abkhazian presidential
    candidates favor commencing a railway communication via Abkhazia.

    "We know that Russia likewise is interested in the opening of the
    railway link. Although, it seems to me, the [respective] decision is
    [to be made] in [official] Tbilisi [i.e., Georgia], and in some
    countries which openly back Georgia," Galustyan noted.

    According to him, Abkhazia has repeatedly stated that it stands ready
    to contribute to the restoration of the railway.

    "The main thing, however, is for Georgia to agree. But we clearly
    realize that the opening of the railway means an increase in Russia's
    role and influence in the region, whereas Georgia and Europe don't
    want to support that," concluded the Armenian deputy of the Abkhazian
    parliament.
