YEREVAN. - Of course, the construction of Iran-Armenia railway may not be in the interests of our neighbors, but we must [still] construct it, Armenia’s PM Hovik Abrahamyan told Armenian News – NEWS.am, touching on the perspectives of Iran-Armenia railway and Russia’s stance over that issue.
In his words, Armenia and Russia are strategic allies and members of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU). “But we also have our own interests - the interests of our people and homeland – and I’m ready to discuss the issue with them as a partner,” Abrahamyan said.
Iran-Armenia railway has a very important strategic significance for Armenia and its economy, the PM said. “And we’ll do that, regardless of whether it offends anyone or is not in their interests. The fact is that the successful completion of the construction will contribute to the economic activation and development of business in our country,” Abrahamyan said.
