RUSSIA TRIES TO EXTEND ARMENIAN RAILWAYS

The Armenian railways, which are now managed by Russia and consequently
called South Caucasus Railways, are today connected with no other
railway system but the Georgian one. The Russians now want to expand
the South Caucasus Railways’ capacity and connect it with the rest
of the world, suggesting that it could connect with Iran Railways
and via Iran the Caspian Sea.

Making this link would enable Armenia to become part of north-south
corridor connecting Russia and other CIS countries with Pakistan,
India, China and so on. If the railway link is established Armenia
could export agricultural products, chemical fertilisers and
construction materials, promote tourism and so on.
