Baku / 03.24.19 / Turan: Turkey seeks to increase passenger and cargo transportation by Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway, Deputy Minister of Transport and Infrastructure of Turkey Omar Fatih Sayan said, answering the question from Turan.
"As you know, the Kars-Tbilisi-Baku railway line is part of the Great Silk Road. Therefore, we must complete the work and increase the volumes. We hope to continue building them," the deputy minister said.
