Logistics Center is opening in Azerbaijan in the closest time, reportedly said Akif Mustafayev, head of Azeri national secretariat within РіР"ава TRACECA.
Mustafayev said with this purpose the European Union has issued some $5.5mln. This amount is directed to establish such centers in all countries within TRACECA, including Azerbaijan.
He said also last year cargo transportation via Azerbaijan totaled 128 MT, from which 47MT is for TRACECA alone. Within this amount 12.5MT are oil and oil products.
Azeri Transport Ministry estimated the year-over-year rise of cargo transportation in 10 %. Oil and oil products transportation via railroads are expected to rise by 2.5 MT.
