YEREVAN-AKHALKALAKI-BATUMI HIGHWAY NOT TO BECOME SECOND ROKI TUNNEL

Georgia is in a habit to explain its problems by outer factors, an Armenian political scientist said. "It's an erroneous thesis because all problems go deep into the past. Some Georgian officials think that Yerevan-Akhalkalaki-Batumi can become a second Roki tunnel. However, I would like to mention that complete isolation is not a way out. On the contrary, it may provoke a conflict," director of Caucasus Institute Alexander Iskandaryan said during Yerevan-Tbilisi TV space bridge today. "The necessity of a new motorway emerged during the August events when the only way connecting Georgia and Armenia was almost blocked by those wishing to leave Georgia," he added. For his part, political scientist Alexander Markarov said that the idea to build a new highway has not received a feedback from Georgia yet. According to Georgian expert Soso Tsiskarishvili this project might be "the initiative of Mr. Putin" and no one can guarantee that "Russian will not march along it one day." "We should be extremely cautious and find out how beneficial such a project will be for both Armenia and Georgia," he said.
