    Nadir Azmamedov: "Azerbaijani railroads remain closed for Armenia"

    11 January 2008 [13:33] - Today.Az

    Azerbaijani Railroads remain closed for Armenia, spokesman for the
    Azerbaijan Railroad Department Nadir Azmamedov said.



    "They can promise everything but the Baku-Nakhchivan-Yerevan
    railroad will not operate until the occupied lands of Azerbaijan

    are not released", thus Azmamedov commented on the prospects of
    opening of railway communication between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

    It should be reminded that yesterday the Minister of Transport and
    Communications of Armenia Andranik Manukyan, commenting on the
    transmission of Armenian Railroads to the concessive regulation by
    Russian Railroads, announced that Russian Railroads plan to restore
    railway communication between Armenia and Azerbaijan and Armenia and
    Turkey. Manukyan said it will occur in 2009-2010.

    Azmamedov announced that the opening of railway communication between
    Azerbaijan and Armenia is a political issue which can not be decided
    by the management of Russian railroads.

    Azmamedov said Armenians are interested in the restoration of a
    railroad to Turkey via Kars and to Azerbaijan via Nakhchivam, as they
    would get good dividends from it.

    "However, Azerbaijani Railroads will not cooperate with an invader
    country", the spokesman said.
