In order to facilitate the freight movement of all countries in this geography, we attach great importance to connecting the divided roads, railways, airports and these to the sea ports, which are complementary to the middle corridor. We are doing many projects for this. The most important of these is the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars Railway Project. This project will complete the missing link of transport corridors between Europe and Asia. By making the Marmaray Project, we have connected Asia to Europe by train under the sea, but there is no other after Kars.
