PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijani Premier Artur Rasizade stated yesterday that efforts to establish a transportation link between Azerbaijan and Turkey are continuing, and that an agreement on the Kars-Akhalkkalaki-Tbilisi-Baku railway will be signed in January. The announcement of the planned agreement on the railway project came during Georgian Prime Minister Zurab Noghaideli's meeting with Rasizade in Azerbaijan. Rasizade also announced that the construction and preparation work for the Kars-Akhalkalaki-Tbilisi-Baku railway project are planned to begin in May, reports The New Anatolian.
