    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Construction of the Georgian and Turkish sectors
    of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railroad will start in early October,
    Azeri Transport Ministry official Sadraddin Mammadov said. He said
    the Georgian segment will extend for 29 km, the Turkish one - for
    76 km. The building will kick off at the Georgian-Turkish border,
    Mammadov said.

    The results of the tender are expected by the end of September. To
    date, 50 companies have announced their participation, APA reports.

    The project of the Georgian and Turkish sectors was drawn up by Yuksel
    Domanic Turkish company.

    The resulting document was signed by Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey
    in Tbilisi in February 2007.

    According to the agreement, Azerbaijan assigned a $200-million credit
    for a 25-year term to Georgia.
