“Nomad Express container service was launched on the TITR, and pilot container trains from China to Azerbaijan, Turkey and backwards, and from Ukraine to China were organized. It is scheduled to set up to 53 container trains on the China-Baku, China-Tbilisi and China-Istanbul routes in 2016. The routes will pass through Kazakhstan,” Mamin noted.
