The government intends to end construction of the alternative roads in Syunik Province in the spring of 2022. This is what Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia Suren Papikyan told reporters today, adding that the first of the roads is the Kapan-Tatev road, which very few drivers choose to take and only drive with the accompaniment of police officers.

“If necessary, the truck drivers who wish to drive towards Kapan and Tatev will be escorted by police officers since, as you know, the road is being repaired, and there may be problems, if the drivers aren’t escorted by police officers,” Papikyan said.
