Arakelian stated that it is not political is more economical issue and there are encouraging signs in this direction.
"Armenian, also Georgian and Russian sides pay big attention to the opening of Abkhazian sector of the railway. In this direction last time chances grew because the President of JSC "Russian Railway" Vladimer Iakunin made statement that there are encouraging sings in this direction. Because of the fact that the issue has more political implication than economical that's why negotiations are going on behind the closed doors. The main thing is to reach agreement between Georgian and Abkhazian sides. May be you imagine what kind of tough knot to be opened to decide this question. In these processes also takes part the Ministry of Transport of Abkhazia and we hope that soon we will reach very important decision," stated Artur Arakelian to the journalists.
