Re: Armenia's Economic Pulse
New Developments on Armenian-Turkish Railway
Russian company “South Caucasus Railway” CJSC (SCR) announced that it is in negotiations with Poland for buying freight carriages to supply an Armenian-Turkish railway. The company also announced its plans to build a logistic centre at Akhurian station situated in the Armenian-Turkish border corridor, reports Russian paper “Nezovisimaja Gazeta.”
Evidence proving that Armenia intends to purchase 120 freight carriages from Polish Poznan factory for an Armenia-Turkey railway were published by Polish media after Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Armenia to Poland Ashot Galoyan’s visit to the company last week.
However, Armenia’s foreign minister has denied this information stating that the ambassador’s visit to Poznan is related with the settlement of relations in the region. The Armenian foreign ministry’s position is most likely explained by Armenians’ unsettled attitude towards the Armenian-Turkish Protocols, reported Polish paper Gazeta Wyborcza.
No comments were provided by South Caucasus Railway, who refused even to answer the question why freight cars are being purchased from Poland and not from Russia.
“In any case of clarify, official information will be provided,” they stated at SCR.
At a press conference in Yerevan recently, a SCR representative stated that the company is ready to start construction work on the Armenia-Turkey railway two days after the border is opened.
