Russia's ambassador to Armenia, Sergey Kurkin, said that the concession of the railways ended on very favorable terms, perhaps incredibly favorable for Armenia. He attended a meeting of the head of Russian Railways with Nikolay Fashyan and was impressed by the analysis of the efficiency of the concessions compared to the railways of other countries in the region and beyond. According to the ambassador, the joint work committee should answer the Armenian side's questions within three months, including transportation and logistics.
