Georgian Minister for Reintegration Paata Zakareishvili said that restoration of the railway through and to Abkhazia, shut down since conflicts in 1992-1993, will not be initiated, RIA Novosti reports.
Abkhazia believes that the idea to restore railway connection with Russia as part of the de-isolation plan for Abkhazia had political goals, such as return of Georgian refugees.
Restoration of the 300-meter railway section from Georgia to Russia will need over 1.8 billion rubles.
