Armenian Ambassador Calls for Expanded Iran-Armenia Rail and Trade Links
Grigor Hakobyan says connecting the two countries’ railway networks would give Armenia access to southern seas and diversify Iran’s trade routes to Europe
Armenia’s Ambassador to Iran, Grigor Hakobyan, has called for expanding railway and trade cooperation between Tehran and Yerevan, according to a report by IRNA, Iran’s official news agency.
Hakobyan said linking the rail networks of the two countries would provide Armenia with access to international waters in the south, while also giving Iran an additional route for trade with Europe, IRNA reported.
The ambassador’s remarks underscore ongoing discussions between Tehran and Yerevan on strengthening bilateral economic and transport ties, though no specific timeline, project details or funding arrangements were disclosed in the report.
IRNA did not specify the venue or occasion of Hakobyan’s comments, nor did it provide further details on the current state of negotiations between the two countries regarding the proposed rail link.
