Türkiye welcomes Armenia rail step in normalization process
The opening of the Akhalkalaki-Kars railway line to Armenian exports and imports marks a new step in the Türkiye-Armenia normalization process, Türkiye’s special representative for normalization with Armenia has said.
Serdar Kılıç made the remarks on X after Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced that the line was now available for Armenia’s foreign trade through Georgia.
Kılıç described the development as a new step in direct trade between Türkiye and Armenia under the normalization process.
“I hope this new step, which will also improve quadruple cooperation among Türkiye, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia and make a significant contribution to regional peace and stability, will be beneficial for all these countries,” Kılıç said.
