Yerevan/Mediamax/. New State Minister for Reintegration of Georgia Paata Zakareishvili stated that the Georgian authorities will take up a number of steps for settling the Abkhazian conflict in near future and first of all, the resumption of the railway communication between Russia and Georgia stopped 20 years ago.
He said in his interview to "Kommersant" that "Russia, Georgia and Armenia will be able to use the railway".
According to him, some consultations have already been held on the governmental level though the new staff of Bidzina Ivanishvili haven't discussed the issue of restarting the railway communication between Russia and South Caucasus through Abkhazia and "there haven't been any contacts with Russian and Abkhazian counterparts".
"We should contribute to resumption of the transport communication through Abkhazia - both railway and automobile", noted Zakareishvili. At the same time, he called on "ruling out any political motives and consider the problem solely in economic context".
"Let's start at least with freight trains", said the State Minister.
