The railway belongs to the Republic of Armenia, and the country must be able to use it as it sees fit, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said. If there are disagreements, we will go to arbitration and discuss them there,” the prime minister said, according to Radar Armenia. Pashinyan argued that there are matters in Armenia that had been free of charge for years but could now become subject to payment. Earlier, Pashinyan said he had approached Russia regarding the urgent restoration of several railway sections leading to Azerbaijan and Turkey. Since 2008, Armenia’s railway network has been managed by South Caucasus Railway, a subsidiary of Russian Railways.
