Turkish Minister of Transport, Maritime Affairs, and Communications Binali Yildirim said on Thursday that Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway project was an international and regional cooperation project.

Yildirim made an address in a meeting, which was attended by Minister of Transport of Azerbaijan Ziya Mammadov and Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia Giorgi Kvirikashvili.

“This is an international and regional cooperation project. This project is also a welfare and development project. These territories have been the routes of Silk Road between east and west for centuries, and now are connected with modern railways. A transit way for passengers and cargoes will be established from China to London within the scope of this project,” said Yildirim.

-Project is world wide known-

Mammadov stressed that the works on the project in Azerbaijan side rapidly went on, adding, “this project is a world wide known project.”

The first welding of BTK project is inaugurated

Binali Yildirim said Thursday that Kars–Tbilisi–Baku Railway Project (BTK) was not only the project of Azerbaijan, Georgia or Turkey; it was also the project of Central Asia Republics, China, the Balkans and Middle East; it was even the project of Europe.

Attending the inauguration of the first welding of BTK, Yildirim got together with Azerbaijani Minister of Transport Ziya Mammadov and Georgia’s Minister of Sustainable Development George Kvirikkashvili.

“This project will be opened to everyone. The welfare of the region and our country will increase. More friendships will be formed. We will do more business together” Yildirim said.

Pointing out that they changed the route to avoid harming historical places, Yildirim said “It is not only the project of Azerbaijan, Georgia or Turkey; it is also the project of Central Asia Republics, China, the Balkans and Middle East; it is even the project of Europe.”

The Kars–Tbilisi–Baku railway, or Kars-Akhalkalaki-Tbilisi-Baku railway, is a regional rail link project to directly connect Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan.

The key objective of the project is to improve economic relations between the three countries and gaining foreign direct investment by connecting Europe and Asia.
