Construction in full swing at Armenia-Turkey border Margara checkpoint

 13:24,

YEREVAN, JULY 20, ARMENPRESS. Armenia is carrying out active construction work in the Margara checkpoint of the Armenian-Turkish border, the Chairman of the State Revenue Committee Rustam Badasyan told reporters on July 20.

He said the construction will be completed soon. “I can’t mention a concrete date, but soon,” he said when asked about the timeframes of completing the construction.

Armenia and Turkey had previously agreed to open the land border for citizens of third countries and diplomatic passport holders.

The border was to be opened in June but the process has been delayed.

“This question is beyond the jurisdiction of the State Revenue Committee,” Badasyan said when asked whether or not the border would be opened for citizens of third countries and diplomatic passport holders after the completion of the construction. “Our job is to ensure the conditions for customs control at the border crossing point, and that’s what we are doing,” he added.

Emil Lazarian: “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
