ArmInfo. On March 9, Director General of South Caucasus railway
CJSC Shevket Shaydullin met prefect of Kanaker-Zeitun administrative
district Araik Kotanjyan, SCR press service told ArmInfo.
According to the source, Yerevan chief architect Sergey Danielyan was
also present at the meeting, besides SCR management and representatives
of the prefecture. The parties discussed an opportunity of launching
a new timing electric train on Yerevan-Hrazdan route, which will
start from Almast Yerevan auto station. An opportunity of linking
the railway transport with the motor one was also discussed at the
meeting. SCR representatives think that launch of a new interurban
route will allow to reduce the load on the transport infrastructure and
create a non-expensive alternative to the motor passenger carriage. The
supposed travel time of 50 minutes will also contribute to appearance
of a passenger choice. To note, earlier, Yerevan Mayor Gagik Beglaryan
supported SCR's initiative to create transportation hubs at the
Yerevan station aimed at linking the railway transport with the motor
one. The meeting was held in a constructive and working atmosphere,
that indicates high level of cooperation between SCR CJSC and Yerevan
City Hall.
SCR CJSC is the 100 percent subsidiary of Russian Railways CJSC. In
February 2008 SCR obtained a concession of the state CJSC Armenian
Railway. The agreement of concession of the Armenian Railroad CJSC
for 30 years with a 10-year renewable period was signed in Yerevan
in February 2008.
