Armenia develops its railway system

PanARMENIAN.Net - RA Ministry of Transport and Communication and South Caucasian Railways CJSC are conducting talks for reconstructing Ijevan-Kazakh railway section, Transport Minister Gourgen Sargsyan said. The section which hasn't operated for 15 years has suffered great damages.



Vanadzor-Dilijan railroad (48 km.) also attracts special attention, the Minister said. "The construction of the road will ensure the uninterrupted work of Armenia's railway network," he said.



Despite the existing obstacles, including Armenia's closed border from the east and west, the implementation of the projects will unite the country's railway network, connecting separate regions with one another, Sargsyan noted.



Upon the initiative of RA Transportation and Communication Ministry and Hayastan All Armenian Foundation, Yerevan hosted the presentation of high-speed road and South West projects. Project concepts were implemented by big Austrian iLF companies, under the funding of "Concern MON-ARKH" OJSC.
