The Armenian railway is quite ready for the opening of the
Armenian-Turkish border, said Shevket Shaydulin, Director General of
the South Caucasus Railways CJSC, which has assumed the concession
management of the Armenian railway. He told a press conference today
that the works to modernize the infrastructures in that direction
were under way.

"We are ready to resume the rail communication between Armenia and
Turkey. Today there is a distinct program of activities, a business
project is being worked out. We are taking corresponding steps to
modernize the Akhuryan station at the border," he said.

Shevket Shaydulin assured that there would be no problems with railway
transportation in case the border was opened. The Company intends to
make an investment of $900 million in that direction.
