State Minister of Georgia Alexander Petriashvili, speaking before the visit of the Georgian governmental delegation to Azerbaijan, announced that strategic partnership and friendship with Azerbaijan will not allow the damage in the implementation of major infrastructure projects in Georgia.
“Construction of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway is undoubtedly an extremely important geopolitical project and the agenda does not include any matter on the suspension of any construction work” said Petriashvili, adding “We have to take care of the maintenance and further development of own port and railway infrastructure. The main issue is whether Georgian ports and railways will be in absolute or partial loss after the launch of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway”.
