The Armenian enterprises conveyed to Russia due to Property for Debt
Treaty do not function since the Russian party has not decided on
their strategic or civic destination, Co-Chair of the Armenian-Russian
Inter-Governmental Commission for Economic Cooperation, Russian
Minister of Transport Igor Levitin stated during today’s press

As of restoration of communication via the Abkhaz part of the railway,
the state of the rail line and conditions necessary for its restoration

pipeline, the matter was also discussed and we understand Armenian
party’s actions. I consider these logical and correct in the situation
