RZD can join Iran-Armenia link construction but won't finance it

PanARMENIAN.Net - Russian Railways (RZD) can join construction of the Iran-Armenia link but won't finance it, President of the Russian monopoly Vladimir Yakunin said.



"Armenia supposes that a new link connecting it with Iran is essential. However, concession funds and RZD investments will not be spent on construction. I don't think the Armenian side will be the only investor. To all appearance, it will be a financial consortium. We are ready to consider the possibility of our participation but other financial sources will be used for it," he said, RIA Novosti reports.
