PanARMENIAN.Net – A project for a fresh urban ropeway system for connecting the outskirts of the Armenian capital city of Yerevan to the city center is currently under development.

"The project is aimed at tacking the problem of traffic congestion," head of YerevanProject Sirekan Ohanyan told Aysor.am.

Ohanyan said they are currently working with Lyon city hall and the urban development agency to make the project more realistic and attract investments.

Urban ropeway systems cross residential areas, rivers and existing infrastructure with ease and glide over every traffic hindrance. Such transportation provides traffic management solution for ever-growing populations.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
