    The Baku- Tbilisi- Akhalkalaki-Kars railroad project is of strategic
    importance for the South Caucasus, and will give impetus to economic
    development of the region, Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Elmar
    Mammadyarov told representatives of business circles at the Azerbaijan
    Center for Trade and Culture on August 3 in Washington D.C. "Imagine,
    it will take you just 3 days to get by train to Brussels or Paris
    from Baku," he said.

    Informing the attendees on his meetings in Washington D.C., the
    Minister described the talks as very important saying they mainly
    focused on anti-terror cooperation, joint efforts aimed at peaceful
    settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict, economic relations
    between the two countries and democratic development in Azerbaijan.

    On the same day, Minister Mammadyarov addressed before the participants
    of the round table discussion including representatives of such
    non-governmental organizations as National Democratic Institute,
    International Republican Institute, International Foundation for
    Election Systems, as well as those of the US Department of State and
    National Security Council.

    During the discussion held in a "question-answer" format, the Minister
    spoke of the pre-election situation in Azerbaijan.
