Ilham Aliyev: Our future goal is to make BTK railway economically attractive

Future goal is to make the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway economically attractive, said Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev in an interview with Euronews following the landmark ceremony to inaugurate the rail line in Baku Oct. 30.

"There is no shorter way between Asia and Europe," Ilham Aliyev told Euronews. "Our goal for the future is to agree on tariffs to make it economically attractive. In the long-term, the volume of cargo will grow, and of course this means big profits, big revenues, new jobs and cooperation."
