    Head of construction works of the ropeway and infrastructures Artashes
    Ghazakhetsyan said that the construction works of the ropeway leading
    to Tatev monastery are at the final stage.

    Swiss experts have already installed the equipment. Now they implement
    wiring works, Ghazakhetsyan told journalists.

    "The works will be completed until September, after which we will
    launch the test stage, so that the ropeway is put into commission
    until October 16. A special commission will be invited from Europe
    to test the ropeway's safety. It will provide its conclusion on the
    ropeway's compliance with international standards," said Ghazakhetsyan.

    A PanArmenian.Net correspondent reported from Tatev that the ropeway
    is 5.7km-long, with highest point at 330m. Its cable cars will be able
    to cover the distance to Tatev monastery complex during 11 minutes and
    25 seconds. It will be the longest bidirectional ropeway in the world.
