Kars-Akhalkalaki-Baku military and political project
"Despite obvious profitability of Kars-Baku railroad via Armenia, Turkey decided to build a link via Georgia. This fact proves that Turkey pursued a political objective by hampering the economic development of a regional rival. The same story is with other regional projects, even if Armenia's participation is more profitable than Georgia's. Our enemies will do their utmost to prevent Armenia's participation in major regional projects," Habet Madoyan, expert of Mitq analytical center, said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.
"The project will yield profit, since the railway communication will boost Turkey's commodity turnover with Azerbaijan and the Far East. If necessary, Turkey will mobilize its troops and react to armed conflicts in the region. Without railway communication, Armenia will become a market for cheap Turkish goods," he said.
