"The regional transport network will play an important role in the development of Eurasia and its security. It will strengthen the social and economic development of the region and will promote more global cooperation. The project will prove an advance and will bring the Europe-Caucasus-Asia transport corridor to a new level of development within the framework of reconstruction of the Great Silk Road.
