Iraq to resume train trips to Turkey

The director general of the Iraqi railways Ghassan Abdul Razzaq Mustafa said on Friday in Baghdad that Iraq will resume its railways trips to Turkey. These trips which have been suspended since 19 years will be resumed as from July 20.

The Iraqi weekly al-Zawraa quoted Mustafa as saying that his country will operate on July 20 a train from Baghdad to the Turkish city of Ghazi Intab with an average of one trip weekly through the Syrian territories, noting that starting this trip comes in the course of an agreement signed recently in Baghdad between the Iraqi and Turkish railways companies.
