    ANDREY ARESHEV: PRO-AMERICAN GEORGIA IS WEAK LINK IN CAUCASUS COMMUNICATION PROJECTS

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ As result of the war it unleashed, Georgia is
    losing infrastructure projects one after another, according to a
    Russian expert.

    "Pro-American Georgia is a weak link in Caucasus communication
    projects. It's quite natural that Armenia can replace it," Andrey
    Areshev, expert at Strategic Culture Foundation, told a PanARMENIAN.Net
    reporter.

    "The Kars-Akhalkalaki-Baku track will not be a success, since overseas
    transport is considerably cheaper. Finally, there is Transsib, an
    overland corridor from China to Europe, there is Gyumri-Kars line
    and there are Poti and Batumi ports," he emphasized.

    "The incumbent Georgian authorities as if do everything in their
    power to exhaust poor economic possibilities of the country. It's
    not surprising that Kazakhstan has cancelled a number of projects in
    Georgia. It rejected construction of a terminal for cereal storage in
    Poti. Before, Kazmunaigas Corporation decided not to build a refinery
    in Batumi. Under the circumstances' Armenia's regional significance
    is growing. Thus, hearsay about Turkey's doubts is grounded. Political
    and economically insufficient projects may be wrapped up," the Russian
    expert said.
