Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, Feb. 2
By Huseyn Hasanov– Trend:
Turkmen construction workers are actively laying a railway line from the Turkmen station Serhetabat in the country’s Mary province to the Afghan city of Turgundy, Turkmenistan State News Agency reported.
By using the railway line, Afghanistan will be able to export its products to foreign markets and import the goods in demand, the report said.
The railway construction project will contribute to increasing the volumes of interstate transportation as well.
It is assumed that the railway lines and motorways will connect the city of Turgundy in the Afghan province of Herat with Ashgabat, then with the port of Turkmenbashi on the shore of the Caspian Sea. Further, the corridor will continue through the Caspian Sea to Baku, and then through Tbilisi to Ankara and Istanbul.
