“Historically located on the intersection of East and West, North and South, one of the former states lying on the Silk Road, Armenia with its rail infrastructure could become a link to receive direct international traffic.

Particularly, the head of the Company focused on construction of a new railway line Vanadzor-Fioletovo, Iran-Armenia railway, the international logistics center "Akhuryan" on the Armenian-Turkish border.
