TCDD 5th Regional Directorate has the Van Kapıköy Railway international export gate. There is also a highway gate here. This is an important door for both our country and Iran. We, as the railways, have an annual trade volume of 500 thousand tons, despite the decrease in exports and imports due to some problems experienced last year. As Railways, we care about this export. We started the renewal of this line in recent years because we care. Currently, our 114-kilometer road on the Beyhan-Genç line is being renewed. One month ago, we started the renovation works of the Muş-Tatvan line with a ceremony. At the end of May, we will start the renewal of our 1-kilometer railway line from Van to Kapıköy. All of the materials we will use here are our domestic production. In addition, in the last 123 years, we have done good work at our Van-Kapıköy border gate. There, we renewed our infrastructure and social facilities and arranged the field so that the transactions of our passengers coming from Iran can be carried out with better opportunities ”.
Indicating that the X-Ray device system was implemented at Kapıköy Railway Border Gate for freight trains to pass more easily and quickly, Ülker said, “The X-Ray device takes an x-ray of the wagon while being pulled with the locomotive without releasing the load in the wagons, and checks all the materials in the wagon from the computer. We export and import rapidly. If the schedule of Minister Hayati Yazıcı does not change, the painting opening ceremony of this facility will be held on Friday, May 16. As railways, we renewed our infrastructure, improved our border gate, and increased the quality of our trains. We expect and hope that our trade volume will increase to 1 million, 1.5 million tons in the near future ”.
