ArmInfo. The management of the South Caucasian Railways, the subsidiary
of the Russian Railways, will be changed, Transport and Communication
Minister of Armenia Gurgen Sargsyan said during a press-conference
today.
"We are discussing with the Russian Railways the possibility of
some staff changes," Sargsyan said. "Recently there have been lots of
critical articles concerning the work of the company and we cannot help
being concerned. The media have accused the South Caucasian Railways
of abusing its monopoly status, delaying cargo deliveries and raising
tariffs. Shortly, the Ministry of Transport and Communication of
Armenia will set up a special group for controlling the activities
of the company," Sargsyan said. He pointed out that the key reason
why the South Caucasian Railways had been given concession over the
Armenian Railways was the necessity to improve the cargo traffic
situation in Armenia. "It was a big transaction and it is normal that
the company is facing certain difficulties. I think that the South
Caucasian Railways will gradually improve its work and will justify
our expectations," Sargsyan said.
