Azerbaijani Transportation Minister Ziya Mammadov has said that
Armenia would not use Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway until Nagorno Karabakh
problem was solved and its occupation by Armenia ended.
Attending a meeting in Georgia on Wednesday, Mammadov said that the
railway project was pursued by financial support and initiative of
Azerbaijan.
If Armenia does not leave the lands it occupied in Azerbaijan and
Nagorno Karabakh problem is not solved, we will not allow Armenians to
use this railway line, he said.
BTK is a regional rail link project to directly connect Turkey,
Georgia and Azerbaijan. The project was originally to be completed by
2010, but is now scheduled for completion by 2013.
The key objective of the project is to improve trade and economic
relations between the three regions, as well as gaining foreign direct
investment by connecting Europe and Asia. The project will facilitate
transportation of passengers and goods, principally oil.
