    YEREVAN, JUNE 6, NOYAN TAPAN. Starting June 15, a passenger train
    will run from Yerevan to Batumi and in the opposite direction. The
    Armenian-Georgian intergovernmental commission on economic
    cooperation made this decision last year with the aim of organazing
    the population's recreation at Black Sea resorts this summer. NT
    correspondent was informed at the RA Ministry of Transport and
    Communication that the train will have 6 carriages with 2- and 4-seat
    comfortable compartments and a restaurant car. The Yerevan-Batumi
    train will depart from Yerevan Station at 9:10 pm on odd days of
    a month and arrive in Batumi at 1:40 pm. The train will run in the
    opposite direction - from Batumi to Yerevan at 8:35 am on even days
    of a month and arrive in Yerevan at 5:35 am.

    The train will stop at Yerevan, Armavir, Gyumri, Vanadzor and Sanahin
    stations in the territory of Armenia. The price of a single ticket in
    a 2-seat compartment for traveling by a train of the Armenian railway
    will make 18,703 drams, that in a 4-seat compartment -9,297 drams. The
    prices for traveling by a train of the Georgian railway will make
    21,256 drams and 10,542 drams respectively. Taking into account that
    the ticket prices for interstate communication in passenger trains
    are in Swiss francs, prices may change depending on the exchange
    rate of the Armenian dram set by the Central Bank of Armenia for a
    given month. The management of the company Armenian Railway informs
    citizens the availablity of a identity document is mandatory for
    adults and children when purchasing a ticket and boarding the train.
