The railway link passing through Abkhazia will definitely be restored.

Georgian Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili stated the aforementioned on Wednesday, but he added that time is needed for this to be brought to fruition.

In his words, this railway is indispensable in terms of Georgia’s economic development and normalizing relations with the Abkhaz.

“The more roads we have, that much greater are the chances for development, and this is an axiom,” Ivanishvili said, Gruzia Online news agency of Georgia reports.

The Georgian PM noted, however, that problems have risen on the road to the implementation of this project, since this matter is “much politicized.”

“First of all, we should have explained to our people the need to restore this railway. I think we have achieved this, and we will begin to move forward in this direction,” Bidzina Ivanishvili stressed.
