Armenia says railway link with Türkiye now operational via Georgia
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on May 24 announced that rail link with Türkiye via Georgia has been opened to facilitate import and export operations, as regional ties continue to thaw.
“Pleased to announce that following the Azerbaijani railway, the Turkish railway via Georgia, is now open for Armenian export and import,” Pashinyan wrote on X, referring to the Akhalkalaki–Kars railway route.
Describing the development as a major step for the country’s economic life, the Armenian premier thanked Yerevan’s partners in Türkiye and Georgia for their “constructive cooperation.”
Armenia is already connected to Russia via Georgia and Azerbaijan by rail, establishing a continuous link that extends through Russia and Kazakhstan all the way to China.
