Armenia Hails Progress in Transport Cooperation with Georgia
A report issued by the Armenian Foreign Ministry, which overviews
the country's foreign policy in 2004, reads that progress made in
transport cooperation with Georgia is a main achievement of last year
in the relations between the two countries, RIA Novosti news agency
reported.
The report underlines the special importance of the trilateral
agreement between Armenia, Georgia and Russia over launching a rail
ferry service between the Georgian port of Poti and Russian port of
Kavkaz, which is scheduled to start in January, 2005. The route will
replace the currently operating ferry service between Poti and the
Ukrainian port of Ilichevsk.
Armenia expects to benefit a lot from this direct link with Russia.
It is expected that the rail ferry service will reduce the price of
transportation of cargo from Armenia to Russia by 30%. Armenia also
used the Poti-Ilichevsk rail ferry service.
