Russia will take part in a tender for cooperation with Armenian
railroads, Russian Railroads CEO Vladimir Yakunin said.
"Terms of the Armenian railroads' concession are being defined,
and Russia will take part in a respective tender. The idea has been
approved by the Russian president," he said.
He said they discussed cooperation with Kazakhstan and other CIS
countries and the reconstruction of the Abkhaz railroad line at a
Tuesday meeting chaired by the president. The construction of the
Trans-Korean railroad and cooperation with China and Europe was also
discussed, as well.
The integration of Russian and European systems is a key goal, Yakunin
said. "We target for competitive railroad traffic control systems,
modern rolling stock and new locomotives," he said.
"Western partners have suggested laying wide gauge lines to Europe.
The idea gained support of the president and meeting participants."
