The TRACECA program provides for repairs of the 12-kilometer stretch of the Ayrum-Sadakhlo railway - 2 million euros will be assigned to that end, Chief of the Foreign Relations Department of the Ministry of Transport and Communication of Armenia Gagik Grigorian told journalists. Within the framework of the same program 2 million euros are already allocated to Armenia for technical and economic study of the Yerevan-Tbilisi railway and changing its most dangerous parts. The TACIS, of which TRACECA is part, will be replaced by New Neighbors Program. At that the repairs of the railway will be continued within the New Neighbors Program. Turkey is expected to communicate with Armenia via the Caucasus, and the three South Caucasian states will be linked with the European corridors via Black Sea ports. In G. Grigorian's words, Armenia already words with the European Commission to specify the corridors and the route of the roads. It should be reminded that the TRACECA project (Transport Corridor Europe-Caucasus-Asia) was worked out by the EU within the TACIS program and was to join European and the Central Asian region by means of a transport communication corridor, thus reviving one of the routes of the Great Silk Route, reported the Caucasian Knot.
