The Armenian government is holding talks with Russia to purchase two ferryboats. This is what Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructures of Armenia Suren Papikyan declared during a parliamentary session today.

“There is an opportunity now because there are idle ferryboats in Russia following construction of the bridge in Crimea, and Armenia needs to understand how it can purchase those ferryboats at a price and through a method that is more obtainable for us,” Papikyan explained, adding that the talks are still in progress.
