ArmInfo. The Armenian government qualifies the settlement of transport
problems as one of the priority tasks of Armenia's economic policy,
Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan said during a meeting with
President of the Russian Railways JSC Vladimir Yakunin, Wednesday.
As the Armenian governmental press-service told ArmInfo, railway
transport plays an important role here, Sargsyan said. He stressed
that a decision has been taken to pass the Armenian Railway for
concessional management to raise the efficiency of the railway
transport's activity. Pointing out the significance of the concessional
management and implementation of investment programs stipulated by
the tender, Sargsyan expressed confidence that this will increase the
efficiency and security of railway carriages, enlarge their volumes,
meet the main international requirements, upgrade the rolling-stock,
create vacancies, as well as to raise the qualification of employees
and improve their working conditions. Serzh Sargsyan also emphasized
that the government will not interfere with the concessionaire's
activity if the latter wishes to contribute to settlement of problems
related to the railway's development.
For his part, Vladimir Yakunin thanked Serzh Sargsyan and noted that
his company realizes the degree of its responsibility. The company
has great experience and opportunities and it is confident that it
will implement the obligations it assumed in a worthy manner.
To recall, today the Russian Railways was declared the winner of the
tender on passing the Armenian Railway for concessional management.
