Afghanistan possibly could join Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway project

During the official visit of the Afghan delegation in Baku on March 7, the issue of possibly joining of Afghanistan with the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway link was discussed. With this possibility, Afghanistan could manage to establish a land connection with Europe. This option shows that the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars project has the prospects of becoming a very important link connecting Europe with Asia.
