/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Kars-Akhalkalaki-Tbilisi-Baku railroad
project is economically ungrounded and targeted at deepening of
Armenia's blockade, vice-speaker of the Armenian National Assembly
Vahan Hovhannissian told reporters today. "This is a mere political
project. Turkey hopes that with exploitation of the railway will
alleviate pressure as regards opening of the Armenian-Turkish
border. However, it's an erroneous calculation, since we clearly
understand that the project has nothing in common with economy and
communications," he said adding that Armenia is capable to hamper its
implementation. "If we succeed in fining correct diplomatic solutions
the implementation may at least be protracted," the vice-speaker said.
"The project is hard to implement. Some sectors should lie though
out-of-the-way places. Furthermore, it will be hard settle the
financial issues, especially after the U.S. ban," he said. "Armenia
should work for a similar decision by the European Union. The
whole Armenian diplomatic system should work in this direction,"
the vice-speaker underscored, reports newsarmenia.ru.
