According to Pilpayeh, the rail network will be 540 kilometers, of which 480 kilometers will be in Armenia and 60 kilometers in Iran. He added that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) had been signed between the two sides but the agreement had yet to be implemented.

Pilpayeh also announced the readiness of Iranian companies to participate in the construction of 624 kilometer of road inside Armenia which will directly link Iran to the Georgian Republic.
