Over 3,000 railcars and containers have already been transported via the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway, Chairman of Azerbaijan Railways Javid Gurbanov told reporters on Oct. 12.

Presently, work continues on the railway, where Azerbaijani specialists are also taking part, Gurbanov said.

Work continues, and about 2,000 people are involved in this process. Some 30 percent (about 500) of them are Azerbaijanis. They are high-level specialists," Gurbanov said.
