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.
