Javid Gurbanov: We apply reduced tariffs on cargo transportations
"It is important that everyone works. This is the first carriage. The silk road have existed and operated since ancient times. This road transported cargo via Azerbaijan. We returned to this issue some time ago. The main task was the transportation of cargo from China to Central Europe.
According to AzVision.Az, the statement came from chairman of Azerbaijani Railway Company Javid Gurbanov.

He said China`s annual cargo turnover with Europe exceeds USD 600bn, which proves a great cargo potential:
"According to my colleague from Kazakhstan, they have long started to work on the improvement of transit from China to Europe, and from 2010 to 2014 increased the volume of freight traffic by 40 times.

In 2014, the revenues of JSC "Kazakh Railways` carrying Chinese goods to Europe via Russia amounted to $ 1 billion. However, Azerbaijan has not worked in this direction. Today we return to this issue and take measures to enhance the transport corridor ", he said.

According to Javid Gurbanov, it is important that all are doing their job:
"Border and customs services, in general, all bodies must work together for the profitability of the corridor. Georgian roads and ports are also working with us. From today, "Azerbaijani Railways" will apply reduced rates, and we encourage everyone to do the same.
We apply the highest discounts. We will continue to act in this direction. Now the goods from China to Azerbaijan come in 6 days instead of 45, and this is very beneficial for the entrepreneurs", the chairman of the company said.
