/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian government has decided to amend the
agreement on transfer of Armenian Railways to Russian Railways (RZD).

Minister of Transport and Communications Gurgen Sargsyan said that
amendments will include a provision regulating determination of
railway tariffs.

For his part, Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said that a
working group will be formed to control the situation.

"This agency will be empowered to examine the issues and present
conclusions to the government," he said. "We learned about the tariffs
rise after the concessioner was announced and will never allow it
happen again."
