Armenia’s Nalbandyan to fly to Bratislava for eastern partnership foreign-ministerial meeting

A meeting of the Security Council was held under the chairmanship of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. President Vahagn Khachaturyan, National Assembly Speaker Alen Simonyan, and other officials also attended.

Due to the situation in Iran, some cargo carriers are reluctant to use its territory as a transit country, the Armenian State Revenue Committee stated, commenting to the Armenpress news agency on reports of a decline in cargo traffic between Armenia and Iran amid tensions in the Middle East.

The decision to fully nationalize Electric Networks of Armenia (ENA) was made based on an expert opinion on the company's market value, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated at a briefing, responding to a question about whether nationalization would lead to an additional burden on the state budget.

Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly Alen Simonyan believes that the situation in the Middle East does not pose a threat to the implementation of the TRIPP (Trump Route) project.

The management of railways in Armenia is currently being discussed with the Russian side, stated Alen Simonyan, Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia.

The TRIPP (Trump Route) project, which could create new communication opportunities for Armenia, should under no circumstances become a tool in the hands of external forces against Iran, stated Iranian Ambassador to Armenia Khalil Shirgolami.
