YEREVAN, JUNE 6, ARMENPRESS. The asphalting of the Tatev-Ltsen road in Syunik is completed and the road will allow cargo trucks to bypass the Tatev switchbacks, Governor of Syunik Robert Ghukasyan told reporters.

“Tatev-Ltsen is completed, the opening of the Ltsen-Noravan section will take place soon. This road will completely solve our problem,” the governor said.

Speaking about the results of the opening of the Iranian consulate general in Kapan, Ghukasyan said that he and mayors of his province’s cities are having many meetings with Iranian colleagues to discuss economic and social programs. “We are discussing various programs related to investments, social and cultural programs. The programs haven’t yet started in this phase, but we have numerous programs that will start soon,” the governor said.

He added that Iran has always had very warm relations with Syunik, but technical problems related to connectivity were occurring. “Now these problems are eliminated because we have a consul general, with whom we discuss various issues,” Ghukasyan said.
