Currently two possible new railways which will enter Iran, one from
Azerbaijan and one from Armenia, are being discussed. Armenian
Transport and Communications Minister Gurgen Sarkisian stated on
March 27 that the proposed Iran-Azerbaijan railway will not hinder
the construction of Iran-Armenia railways.

The railway connection between Iran and Azerbaijan might be
useable later this year, and would connect Russia with Iran through
Azerbaijan. As yet there is no financing for the Iran-Armenia railway
construction, but both Iran and Armenia are ready to implement the
project when the money is found.
