    The Minister of Transport and Communication of Armenia, Gurgen
    Sargsyan, told a press conference today that they have fulfilled almost
    all the programs envisaged for 2008. Next year they will continue
    the incomplete projects, nothing will hamper their implementation
    even the world financial crisis.

    The road construction on the financial means provided by the Millennium
    Challenge Corporation will continue in 2009. What will be the fate
    of the rest 280 km if the Corporation suspends the financing? The
    Minister is optimistic.

    A number of changes have taken place during Gurgen Sargsyan's tenure in
    office. In particular, the Armenian Railway was given to the Russian
    Railways Company for concession management. The third cell operator
    entered the Armenian market. "orange" Company of France Telecom won
    the tender among three main contenders. However, no change in fees
    is expected, since, according to the Minister, one should not expect
    a revolution from the entry of the third cell operator.

    Changes were implemented in RA Law on State Due, as a result of
    which individual taxi drivers have to pay 25 thousand AMD instead of
    200 thousand.

    The process of licensing was suspended until January 15,
    2009. According to Gurgen Sargsyan, a number of taxi drivers have
    already applied and received=2 0licenses. In a few days it will become
    clear whether the drivers are content with the Ministry of not.

    Next year the incomplete projects will be continued. This refers to
    the Iran-Armenia railway, as well as the Yerevan-Batumi highway.
