'I am pleased to announce that the Akhalkalaki-Kars railway, as well as the Azerbaijani railway, are now open for export and import to Armenia. This is a major event in our country's economic life. I thank partners from Turkey and Georgia,' Pashinyan said.
He added that Armenia currently has railway connections with Russia via Georgia and Azerbaijan, as well as with China through Russia and Kazakhstan. Now, this route, which passes through Georgia and Turkey and provides access to the European Union, has been added.
