YEREVAN, JUNE 12, ARMENPRESS. Experts consider realistic the construction of new metro stations in Yerevan and propose options for implementing it, reports Armenpress.

Publicist-economist Suren Sargsyan said ‘Yerevan Metro’ fund must be established for constructing new station.

‘It was always stated that there are no funds for construction of new metro station. In order to solve this problem I propose to create ‘Yerevan Metro’ fund. For the initial stage the state must have participation in financing the fund, and then, I am convinced, that philanthropists will also provide assistance”, Sargsyan said.

Architect, professor Gurgen Musheghyan said it was initially determined that Yerevan must have 47 km long metro consisting of 36 stations, meanwhile, today, the metro 12 km long consisting of 10 stations operates.

“The construction of two stations in Ajapnyak requires 100 million USD, and nearly 90 million USD is needed for constructing the tunnel”, Musheghyan said.
