The opening of the Armenian-Turkish railway takes on a much more global significance (VIDEO)

RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan described Turkey's decision to lift the ban on direct air cargo transportation with Armenia as a "welcome step."

According to him, it is important that not only negotiations take place in the relations between Armenia and Turkey, but also events that will ensure the dynamics in those negotiations. "This is also very important for the work of special representatives."

Pashinyan recalled his meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Prague, "I hope that in the near future the border will be opened for citizens of third countries, and we also expect the border to be opened for diplomatic passport holders. These events are important not only in terms of Armenia-Turkey relations. also a very serious change of international logistics chains is taking place. I think this region is becoming much more interesting in terms of international cargo transportation and gaining international importance than before. In this sense, both the opening of the Armenia-Turkey border and the opening of the Armenian-Turkish railway acquire a much more global significance."
