Armenia. All you need to know.

The recent Georgia-South Osetia conflict affected the whole region of South Caucasus and Armenian Highland, and one of the reasons was the damaged railway and road from Armenia to Georgian Poti, actually the only exit of Armenia into the world in the state of 17-year-long blockade of Armenian borders by Turkey from West and Azerbaijan from East.
Now more than ever the necessity of alternative ways to the world is seen.
Armenia Discovered writes about the possible openinig of Turkish-Armenian border and the repairing works at Gyumri-Kars railway.

South Caucasian Railways repairs the station on Gyumri-Kars railway through which, according to the secretary of the company is going to receive trains directly from Turkey. No dates were mentioned as well as any political decisions from either Armenia or Turkey. They claim no political decisions depend on them and their job is to prepare the railway.

And Real Armenia states the necessity of a railway from Armenia to Iran.

In such circumstances the necessity of having new railway communication options with the world is becoming indispensable. Iran-Armenia railway can serve as one option.
