The Baku–Tbilisi–Baku passenger train service has been suspended since March 2020 due to the closure of Azerbaijan’s land borders ostensibly due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

🔴 The Georgian media outlet Publika first reported that the agreement between the two countries was signed after Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze met in Baku on Monday.

🔺 Kobakhidze’s visit to the Azerbaijani capital coincided with the 13th World Urban Forum.

⭕ Later, the Georgian government confirmed the news, after which the Azerbaijani pro-government media outlet Okhu.az published their own news, citing Georgian sources. Later, they deleted the article.“.
