Sweden's Bertil Hylen, who advised the EU on the development of the Turkish State Railways, says that given the long distances and relatively small population in the region, high-speed rail would have difficulty competing with air transportation.
Šveđanin Bertil Hilen, koji je savetovao EU oko razvoja Turskih državnih železnica, kaže da će, s obzirom na velike daljine i relativno mali broj stanovnika u regionu, brze železnice imati poteškoća da budu konkurencija vazdušnom saobraćaju.
