    CHEAP TICKETS ARE NOT SO MUCH A MARKETING MOVE AS A SOCIAL TASK

    ArmInfo. The passenger traffic inside Armenia is oriented not so much
    towards economy rather than social security, Director General of South
    Caucasus Railway Shevket Shaydullin said during a press-conference
    today.

    He said that each day the company loses 1.7bln AMD on passenger
    operations and recoups only 30% of its passenger traffic costs. "But
    this does not discourage us as we are a socially oriented company. For
    example, the Gyumri-Ayrum train carries just an average of 30 people
    a day but we are not going to close this route," Shaydullin said.

    In the summer there will be a train travelling from Yerevan to Shorzha
    (Lake Sevan).

    South Caucasus Railway is 100% subsidiary of Russian Railways. Feb
    13 2008 it was granted a 30-year concession over Armenian Railways.
