According to the ministry, a land plot of 300,000 square meters was given for the construction of the logistics center.
Annually, 412,000 tons of cargo will be transported through the center.
The ministry added that 16-km railway lines will be built in the territory of the logistics center. They will be connected to the Kars-Erzurum railway.
An agreement on creation of the logistics center was signed on July 19, 2017 during the visit of Head of Azerbaijan Railways CJSC Javid Gurbanov to the Kars Province in order to get familiarized with the progress in the BTK project.
