Turkey: BTK railway to have new terminal in Kars

A new international terminal for the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars (BTK) railway is being built in the Turkish province of Kars. With this purpose, the old building of the railway station is being demolished to make room for the new project.
The BTK railway is being constructed on the basis of the Georgian-Azerbaijani-Turkish intergovernmental agreement. The peak capacity of the railway will be 17 million tons of cargo per year.
“Once the BTK railway is commissioned, it will transport five million tons of cargo a year, but the figure can rise up to 17 million tons in the future,” Javid Gurbanov, head of Azerbaijan Railways CJSC, said earlier.
