    Iran, Armenia to Increase Cooperation in Building Railway


    TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran's Deputy Minister of Road and Transportation Reza
    Pilpayeh announced that a number of Iranian companies are prepared to
    help Armenia with the development of its railway system.

    "Iranian companies have expressed their readiness to create a
    consortium for building roads and railways in Armenia and connecting
    their rail network to Iran's," Pilpayeh said on Wednesday.

    Quoted by MNA, he said that the rail network will be 540 kilometers,
    of which 480 kilometers will be in Armenia and 60 kilometers in Iran.

    He added that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) had been signed
    between the two sides but the agreement had yet to be implemented.

    With the implementation of the agreement, Armenia's rail network will
    be effectively connected to international waters via the southern
    Iranian port of Bandar Abbas.

    Pilpayeh also announced the readiness of Iranian companies to
    participate in the construction of 624 kilometer of road inside
    Armenia which will directly link Iran to the Georgian Republic.
