ARMENIA HAS WORKED OUT TWO PROJECTS OF BUILDING RAILWAY TO IRAN

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia has worked out two projects of building a railway to Iran, Armenian Minister of Transport and Communications Andranik Manukian told journalists. According to the first project worth $760 million the railway will pass from the Yeraskh station (60 km to the south-east of Yerevan) to Meghri town at the Armenian-Iranian border (350 km to the south-east of Yerevan). The second one of $900 million suggests the building of a branch from Zod village (to the east of the Lake Sevan, 130 km to the east of Yerevan) to Meghri town. Both options provide for the building of a 60-km-long segment of the railway from the Armenian town of Meghri to Julfa Iranian town.
