According to S. Ali Saghayan the political decision of construction of the railroad has already been reached – during the Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s visit to Iran an agreement has been reached and at present the discussion of technical issues is being conducted. Different variants of the direction of the railroad are being discussed. With the initial information investment of 2 billion USD will be needed for the construction of Iran-Armenia railroad.
