    IRAN, RUSSIA DISCUSS RESTORING RAILWAY LINKS

    Islamic Republic News Agency, Iran
    Nov 2 2006

    Moscow, Nov -- A high ranking Russian delegation headed by Vladimir
    Yakunin will be in Tehran within 4-6 November to discuss restoring
    linkage between the two countries' railways, said a Russian railway
    spokesman on Thursday.

    The source underscored the importance of construction of a north-south
    international transport railway and said the Russian delegation would
    put forth the issue of re-linking the two railway systems which has
    been cut following Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict over Karabakh region.

    The source added that in this respect the construction of a new
    Ghazvin-Rasht-Astara railway would be necessary and Russia is intent
    on contributing to constructing and modernizing Iran's railway
    infrastructure.

    Iranians and Russians are also to exchange views on ways and means
    of providing security measures for Russian made locomotives and wagon.

    Russia has also expressed readiness to teach Iranian specialists in
    its expert railway school.
