During a conversation with RFE/RL Armenian Service, Iranian drivers informed that the new Tatev-Aghavni road, which is considered an alternative to the Goris-Kapan interstate road, is narrow for trucks.

The drivers stated that they take this road since they face quite a lot of problems when they pass through the section under Azerbaijani control, that is, they pay a nearly $130-dollar tax.

Although the officials, at the level of the Prime Minister, assure that truck drivers can use the Tatev-Aghavni road, today, the RFE/RL Armenian Service’s crew recorded that there are problems for truck drivers in different sections of the road. In one section of the road, the crew’s cameraman taped a truck that was saved from turning over.

“We drive on a new road, which is not final and is very narrow. We don’t want to pass through the Azerbaijani road so that we don’t pay fees. Nobody is there to help us on the road so that the large cars move in case of any problem,” a driver said, the source reports.
