YEREVAN, December 29. /ARKA/. It would be preferable for the Armenian
government to launch construction of Armenia-Iran railway in late 2009,
RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said as he met with local reporters
last week.
Construction will be launched as soon as the project's feasibility
study is over, the premier said, adding the Asian Development Bank
is involved in the project.
"The private sector has shown a keen interest in the project,
allocating large sums for the feasibility study and technical
preparations," the prime minister said.
Sargsyan assured the journalists the strategically important project
will be implemented by all means, saying the government vows support
to it. The premier did not rule out possible involvement of the private
sector and overseas partners in the railway's construction.
