ArmInfo. The Russian co-chairman of the Armenian-Russian
inter-parliamentary committee, the member of the Russian Federaion
Council Nikolay Ryzhkov is satisfied with the new schemes for
development of railroads in Armenia.
While speaking at the committee’s meeting in Yerevan today, Ryzhkov
said that, when he came to Armenia after the Spitak earthquake in
1988, the railroads in the quake-stricken areas were "coiled into
springs." Today, the Armenian railroads are reviving. "Armenia is
actively developing its railways and, as person supervising railways
in the Federation Council, I am glad at this progress," Ryzhkov said.
He pointed out the contribution of South Caucasus Railways (subsidiary
of Russian Railways) and its director general Shevket Shaydullin to
the development of the Armenian railroads.
South Caucasus Railways is 100% subsidiary of Russian Railways and
has 30-year concession over Armenian railways.
