The Iran-Azerbaijan railway project does not eliminate the interest in the Iran-Armenia project, Russian Railways First Vice-President Alexander Misharin told Armenian News-NEWS.am.  

As per Misharin, the Iran-Armenia railway project is within the framework of the development concept for the North-South Transport Corridor.    

Even after when the Iran-Azerbaijan railway construction is completed, alternative routes will be required in the North-South direction, he added.  

The Russian Railways official recalled that there is no business plan for the Iran-Armenia project, and that work is expected here from the initiating party of this project.

“And based on this, we will decide on participation. But we are ready with a potential,” Alexander Misharin stated.
