SEC Transport Ministers discussed in Yerevan construction of Black
Sea ring highway, envisaging improvement of transportation conditions
and visa system for drivers.

"We are serious about participation in the project," Armenian
Transport Minister Gurgen Sargsyan said. "The road will stretch
along the Black Sea shore and though some countries with no outlet
to the sea. The Armenian sector will connect the republic’s south
with the east and extend to Batumi, Georgia."

The Memorandum of Understanding on Coordinated Development of the Black
Sea Ring Highway was signed in April 2007 and came into effect in 2008.
