Will 40 buses change situation?
Armenia foresees to import only 40-50 buses from China this October, Head of the Department of Transport at Yerevan Municipality Henrik Navasardyan told "A1+". According to him, the buses will be given to Armenia by the Chinese government.
"China will donate 130-150 buses costing nearly 75 million Chinese Yen to Armenia," said Henrik Navasardyan.
On July 26-30, Karen Karapetyan and the administration of a Chinese company discussed issues on importing 400 buses through loans.
According to the head of the transportation department, the new network will be established in late September and will be followed by tenders.
