    YEREVAN SUBWAY TO BE ENLARGED

    ARKA
    April 7, 2008

    YEREVAN, April 7. /ARKA/. Enlarging Yerevan subway is a priority of the
    capital's transport development plan for 2008, Yerevan Mayor Yervand
    Zakharyan said. "Transport network is a small one in Yerevan. There
    is no alternative to enlarging the subway network," the Mayor told
    a Monday news briefing.

    The Armenian Government allocated a subsidy of AMD 1.7bln for
    additional preparation efforts. Zakharyan said the Mayor's Office
    is currently assessing the state of incompletely constructed subway
    stations to set a corresponding action plan. They are negotiating
    with the World Bank now to get a loan for the construction of new
    subway stations.

    As Zakharyan had earlier said they expected to get $60mln from the
    World Bank.

    Yerevan subway was founded in 1981. With ten stations operating
    currently its total length is 13.4 kilometres. ($1 - AMD
    308.31).
