    Iranian Deputy Minister of Roads and Transportation, Reza Pilpayeh,
    at a meeting with Armenian Minister of Energy and Natural Resources,
    Armen Movsisyan , announced readiness to establish a 500 kilo meters
    railway linking Jolfa in Iran to Sisian in Armenia.

    The project needs a credit of $2.5 billion which should be gradually
    provided by investors during the course of the project, Pilpayeh said.

    Movsisyan, for his part said that linking two countries via railways
    has been always emphasized by the Iranian and Armenian presidents
    and Jolfa-Sisian railway enjoys remarkable economical justifications.

    Appreciating the role played by Export Development Bank of Iran in
    Armenia's various projects, Movsisyan asked for participation of the
    bank in Jolfa-Sisian project.

    The two sides agreed to sign MoU on the project once the expert work
    on the project was implemented by the two sides' representatives.

    "Various companies from different countries tend to undertake
    the project but we would like Iranian contractors implement it,"
    Movsisyan said.
