The agreement was signed on 28 November representatives of the major transport and logistics operators in Istanbul. About it reports «Интерфакс» with reference to the statement of the press service of "Georgian railway".

The document notes that the agreement was reached during the presentation of TRANS-Caspian transport route China — Turkey — Europe.
