JERMUK, MARCH 21, ARMENPRESS: A resort town of Jermuk in the Vayots
Dzor province, where the eponymous mineral water is produced,
looks set to have a cable road. Local authorities plan to launch
its construction either in late April or early May and bring it to
completion in early November.

Azat Hovsepian, an official at the local governor’s office in charge of
urban projects, said the government has released 1.3 billion drams from
its reserve funds to that end. The cable road will be 1000 meter long.

Hovsepian said the idea to build a cable road is to give a push
to tourism development and make the town more attractive for
holiday-makers not only in summer, but also in winter.
