Iran to provide Armenia’s railway connections

Some Iranian companies have declared recently that they are ready to create a consortium over the construction of motorways and railways in Armenia, connecting the country to the rest of the world through these links. The memorandum of understanding has been signed but there are no agreements so far. Through these projects Armenia’s railways will be connected through Iran to the southern Persian gulf city of Bander-Abass in Iran. There are further plans to build infrastructure to the north into Georgia and connect Armenia with the Georgian Black Sea port of Batumi.
