Armenia's railways were purchased by Russian railways and they
function under the name of South Caucasus railways. So far these
railways have had limited opportunities. They do not go to Turkey
because of the closed border between Turkey and Armenia and they do
not obviously go to Azerbaijan. The only international destination
for the South Caucasus railways is Georgia. Thus the idea has become
very interesting to establish a railway connection between Armenian
and Iran. The issue of the restoration of the railway connection
with Russia through Georgia and later Abkhazia is also an issue of
speculation, although there are many obstacles for this possibility
to be implemented in reality.
