ALTERNATIVE FOR THE ARMENIAN RAILWAY

Instead of the railway Ghars-Gyumri-Akhalqalaq which has not been
working for the last few years a new railway is anticipated to be
built. The protocol about it has already been signed in Baku after
the two-day meeting of the working groups from Azerbaijan, Georgia
and Turkey.

The new railway will naturally go past Armenia. According to
preliminary calculations 400 million dollars are necessary for the
railway to be built. By the way, the idea of the construction appeared
8 years ago.
