"Railway development criterion"
Emphasizing that one of the most important criteria showing the development of a country is the railway networks owned by the country, Revah added: “We are a very strategic country in the middle of Asia and Europe, geographically. We are in the center of a place where trade is developing. When we look at the developed countries, we see that transportation is mainly done by railways. People in Europe use more trains than planes. Especially in Europe, there is an obligation to transport all kinds of flammable, explosive, large tonnage cargo by rail. The rail system both relieves road traffic and is a more efficient transport model. You can load a maximum of 25 tons on a truck, but it is possible to load 60 tons on only one wagon. When there are 50 wagons on the train, the account is clear. It snowed on the railway, it sank into the mud. Rail transport is 60 percent cheaper than sea transport and 80 percent cheaper than road transport. "
