Iran-Armenia railway construction constituent of Armenia's flexible strategySeptember 11, 2009 - 14:45 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Construction of Iran-Armenia railway is a constituent of Armenia's flexible strategy, no matter whether the Armenian-Turkish is open or not, said Arsen Ghazaryan, chairman of RA union of industrialists and entrepreneurs. "This link will offer Armenia an outlet to the Persian Gulf and Central Asia," he said. "The construction project was developed in the soviet era but its implementation was hampered by USSR decline."

Armenia will loan 2.9 billion drams to Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh), according to a draft government decision. The Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Azerbaijan has “strongly condemned” Armenia’s decision. Kerobyan has said that for the first time in the history of Armenia, the volume of foreign direct investments amounted to about $1 billion. Partner news |
