/PanARMENIAN.Net/ An interesting project within BSEC frameworks is
the construction of Armenia-Batumi highway, MP Ara Nranyan, ARFD
Advisor on Economic Issues and member of Armenian delegation in BSEC,
told a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent. "The Georgian side has again
reiterated its determination and willingness to launch the construction
of Batumi-Akhaklkalaki-Gyumri highway," he mentioned. Mr. Nranyan
finds that a country like Georgia appeared in an unfavorable situation
after Russian troops paralyzed the country’s eastern-western part. The
highway construction, according to the MP, is of practical importance
both for Armenia and Georgia. For the former, it may become an
alternative route to Black Sea coast. As to the latter, it may enable
it to unite its country’s eastern and western parts.
