The Saralanj highway of Yerevan, which connects Kenron and Arabkir
communities reaching to Davitashen Bridge, was put into commission
today.
The construction of the highway started three years ago with the
financing of the Lincy Foundation, which allocated about $6 billion.
The solemn opening ceremony was attended by RA President
Serzh Sargsyan, ex-President Robert Kocharyan, Ministers, other
officials. The Mayor of Yerevan Yervand Zakharyan noted that one of
the most important roads constructed since independence - the Saralanj
highway - is the first speedway bypassing the center, which is an
alternative to the traffic current on overloaded Baghramyan Avenue,
Abovyan, Khanjyan and a number of other streets.
RA President Serzh Sargsyan told reporters he attaches importance
to the programs of road- and school building. Turning to his recent
visit to the US, he assessed it as normal. He said the warmest and
the most exciting meeting was that with the Armenian community. "I
said we should be tolerant and competitive and that our power is in
our diversity." The President said we in Armenia feel the power of
the Diaspora. "We are simply proud to have compatriots, who present
their power and strength in the most powerful countries of the world,"
Serzh Sargsyan said.
