/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "South Caucasus Railways" has proposed the government
of Armenia to give the company the national status, press service of
South Caucasus Railways reports.
"The status of a national transportation company will enable the
enterprise to enter global transportation and logistics organizations,
provide an opportunity for more equitable cooperation with other
railway companies of neighboring countries. This will promote the
interests of Armenia and will help to become more interesting for
investment," General Director of "SCR" Shevket Shajdullin said.
Rapid developments in the South Caucasus, particularly the opening
of borders, the discussed construction of the Iran-Armenia railway
can drastically change the external and internal environment of
the Armenia's economy, and the role of the railway in economic and
political life.
"With such developments Armenian railway should be considered as a
transit link in the international transport corridors between Europe
and Asia and North-South. It seems realistic that the railroad would
help to bring other spheres of economy to international markets, " Mr.
Shajdullin said.
The question of obtaining the status of a national company was raised
at the meeting of the Inter-parliamentary Commission on Cooperation
between RF Federal Assembly and RA National Assembly on November 9.
Proposal of SCR's head was verbally approved by parliamentarians.
