TIME HAS COME FOR GEORGIA TO STIMULATE IMPLEMENTATION OF TRANSPORT
AGREEMENT WITH ARMENIA AND BULGARIA
"Armenia and Bulgaria have ratified the agreement on multi-modal transportation, however Georgia has not. The time has come to stimulate the
process," Bulgarian Ambassador in Armenia Stephan Dimitrov stated, Arminfo news agency reported. In the diplomat's words, the agreement is not a trilateral, but an international document and is open to everyone. Moreover, the document will remain not viable, if a structure for its implementation is not formed. Speaking of the exploitation of the Burgas-Caucasus-Poti ferry route, Stephan Dimitrov said he thought the
effeciency of such a project should be decided by economists. "I can only say that the Poti-Caucasus-Novorossiysk-Varna-Burgas ferry route is
much longer, than Poti-Burgas," the diplomat noted.
