Work continues on railway at Armenia–Turkey border

İsmail Demirtas, head of Turkey’s Akyaka district, and Fuat Arslan, Chairman of the Kars Provincial Council, visited a section of the railway on the Armenia–Turkey border to see the work under way there, ermenihaber. am reported.

A representative of the company building the railway briefed Demirtas on the current status of construction, the work being carried out and the progress of the program.

On site, Demirtas looked at the ongoing work and discussed it with the officials in charge. According to the source, local residents are closely following the process of reopening the Akyaka border checkpoint (Dogu Kapi, or “Eastern Gate”) and the railway, both of which have been closed for many years.

Commissioning the railway line is expected to give a major boost to trade, the economy and transport links in Akyaka.

My earlier notes still apply. The main one is to confirm whether Demirtas is the district governor (kaymakam) or the mayor. If you meant to send a different article, please paste it.
