Georgian PM changes his stance on Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway project
Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili has changed his position on the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway project after meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Baku.
Ivanishvili previously announced that he opposed the initiative as being not profitable for Georgia.
«The former statement wasn't well-based,» the Georgian Prime Minister said. Now it's clear that there no problems with the project, he added.
