Iranian part of the Iran-Armenia railway, Armenpress quoted Secretary
of the National Security Council of the Republic of Armenia Arthur
Baghdasaryan as saying on Friday.
`Armenia continues the negotiations with Iran on the launch of the
construction works of the Iran-Armenia railway', Baghdasaryan pointed
out.
He further added that Yerevan has made the necessary arrangements to
provide funding for the Armenian part of the project.
The Armenian official was also quoted as saying that several companies

Armenia) and raising the level of cooperation in all fields,' Rouhani
said in a meeting with his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sargsian at the
time.

countries, and said, `Relations between Iran and Armenia have been

interests.'
