The International Road Transport Union (IRU), in cooperation with other international organisations and IRU Member Associations

located on the Eurasian landmass, has, over several years, been engaged in activities aimed at developing Euro-Asian road

transport links through the revival of the Great Silk Road whose routes notably crossed, in ancient times, the Southern Caucasus

region. The Silk Road, connecting the East with the West, served as a major channel for countries located along its routes to

develop and maintain trade relations while generating tremendous economic benets and cross-cultural exchanges across the

entire continent.

Today, modern road transport has replaced camel caravans. As the statistics in this booklet demonstrate, road transport plays

a considerable role in domestic and international haulage in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. However, the volume of trans-Caucasus haulage operations today is insignicant. Freight trafc bypasses the Southern Caucasus and follows along northern

and southern detours of the ancient trade routes, across Russia and Iran, and this despite the route across the Caucasus being

a major shortcut between East and West. Why is that?

This issue is the focus of the 6th IRU Euro-Asian Conference in Tbilisi, Georgia, 16-17 June 2011. For the rst time, within the

framework of this IRU conference series, a Coordinating Meeting of International Organisations and Financial Institutions has

been convened, in parallel to the traditional Ministerial Meeting, with a view to pool all the efforts of the international community

and key stakeholders to effectively revitalise the Silk Road by applying the IRUs motto Working together for a better future.
