The Armenian government plans to restore 45 km of the Yeraskh – Julfa – Ordubad – Meghri – Horadiz section of the railway and spend $200 mln, Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia Mher Grigoryan has told TASS news agency

"According to preliminary estimates of experts, the indicative price of restoring sections of the railway passing through the territory of Armenia will be about $200 mln. The length of the section will total about 45 km, and the total length of the track is around 340 km," he noted, as quoted by the source. 

According to tgrigoryan, the railway route connecting Armenia and Azerbaijan will operate "under the accepted international rules for railway transportation, on the principles of reciprocity, and within the framework of the sovereignty and jurisdictions of the countries through whose territories it will pass".

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
