The Kars–Gyumri–Tbilisi railway line is a railway line that runs from the city of Kars in Turkey to the Armenian city of Gyumri, and from there on to Tbilisi, Georgia. Originally completed in 1899, the railway was highly important during the Soviet era, both as the only direct rail link between Turkey and the USSR (Kars-Gyumri), and as one of the two main railway connections between Armenia and other Soviet Republics (Gyumri-Tbilisi). While the Gyumri-Tbilisi section remains Armenia's lifeline to the outside world, the Kars-Gyumri section has not been operational since 1993, when Turkey closed the border with Armenia, following the first Nagorno-Karabakh War between Armenia and Turkic-speaking Azerbaijan, in support of the Azeris.

  • La linea ferroviaria Kars Gyumri Akhalkalaki è una ferrovia che collega la città di Kars in Turchia alla città di Gyumri in Armenia e da questa arriva a Akhalkalaki in Georgia. Durante la prima guerra mondiale questa linea ferroviaria fu di grande supporto alle operazioni russe nella Campagna del Caucaso. La ferrovia è inattiva dal 1993, quando, in seguito alla guerra del Nagorno-Karabakh fra armeni e azeri, la Turchia chiuse il confine con l'Armenia in supporto alle popolazioni turcofone dell'Azerbaigian (it)
