“We are working with Azerbaijan on the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars (BTK) Project. A few months ago, Azerbaijan allocated additional funding for the completion of this project, which will be ready in 2024,” - Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Gharibashvili announced this at a panel discussion held within the scope of the 2023 World Economic Forum in Davos entitled Eurasia Middle Corridor: From Pathway to Highway.
According to the Head of Government of Georgia, relations between Georgia and Azerbaijan are at the highest level – the two countries have implemented very important historical projects.
“We are talking about the highways and railways. Right now our railway capacity in Georgia is 25 million tons. We are now implementing the modernization of our railway. It will be completed by the end of 2024. Capacity will be about 48 million tons. Besides that, together with Azerbaijan, we are now building a Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway. In fact, several months ago, Azerbaijan provided additional funds to complete this project. So it will also be ready by 2024. This is another 5 million tons of cargo. So, these are strategically very important projects.
I also want to mention the relationship between Azerbaijan and Georgia. This relationship is tested and reliable. We have implemented very important, historic projects together, such as the oil and gas pipelines. Now comes this railway project and many others which will come in the future” noted the Prime Minister of Georgia.
