The Kars-Akhalkalaki-Tbilisi-Baku railway is an economic project and with time economic projects can overcome political obstacles, Turkey's 9th President Suleyman Demirel said. In his words, the project will be implemented by any means. Touching upon the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzerum gas pipeline construction he said it will yield good benefit. "Turkey becomes an economic terminal and a part of the transported natural gas will satisfy Turkey's needs. In future European states will also have the possibility to use the Caspian energy resources. Thus, the Silk Road project will be implemented," Demirel said.
