Armenia calls for meeting of border delimitation commissions

YEREVAN, June 19. /ARKA/. Armenia’s Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan sent a proposal to Azerbaijani Deputy Prime Minister Shahin Mustafayev suggesting that the sides’ border demarcation and delimitation commissions hold a meeting, Armenpress reports citing Grigoryan’s Office.

The Armenian side proposes discussing current issues, which cause tension on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, it said.

Deputy Prime Ministers of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan reached an understanding on the steps to restore the Yeraskh-Julfa-Meghri-Horadiz railway connection during their 12th meeting in Moscow on June 3.

According to the estimates of the Armenian Ministry of Economy, the construction of Yeraskh-Julfa-Ordubad-Meghri-Horadiz railroad may cost $1.2 billion. The construction of the 43-km long railway section through Armenian Meghri may require about $200 million.

If this plan succeeds, Armenia will get access to Iran and Russia through this railroad, and Azerbaijan will get a railway connection with Nakhichevan through Armenia.

Yeraskh is a settlement in Armenia's Ararat region bordering Nakhichevan; Meghri is a town in Syunik (south of Armenia, bordering Iran and Azerbaijan). Sadarak, Julfa, Ordubad and Horadiz are towns in Azerbaijan. -0-
