Only 10 out of 12 trucks of BSEC countries arrived in RA capital. The

of order on Sevan road, RA first deputy Transport and Communication
Minister Hrant Beglaryan told journalists today. On behalf of the
Armenian government, he welcomed participants of the motor rally

of Combined Rail-Road Transport Companies. It is called to stimulate
cooperation in the region and development of multi-modal international
cargo transportation, H. Beglaryan said.
He said all the boundary customs and visa procedures should
be investigated during the programme implementation for their
maximum harmonization, as well as the state of the road-transport
infrastructures for repair and recovery of the Black Sea Ring Highway
with length of about 7,000 km, 300 km of which pass through the
territory of Armenia. He also added that the motor rally participants
in Armenia faced no obstacles. Recommendations will be prepared for the
programme organizers after the route completion for actuation of the
Ring Highway as one of the international transport networks, he said.
