ArmInfo.  Armenia hopes that Russia will restore the railway lines connecting it with Nakhichevan, Azerbaijan, and Turkey as soon as possible. Armenian Prime Minister  Nikol Pashinyan told reporters this during a briefing, commenting on  the agenda of his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"If obstacles arise and Russia sees any problems in completing these  works within the specified timeframe, I expressed the Republic of  Armenia's readiness to restore these sections, which are under  concession management, using funds from the state budget," he said.

Pashinyan met with Vladimir Putin on December 22 as part of a working  visit to St. Petersburg to participate in a meeting of the Supreme  Eurasian Economic Council.
