The building of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) ring highway
is hampered by Turkey and Azerbaijan's attempts to build the highway
bypassing Armenia, said the chairman of the National Assembly's
Standing Committee on Financial-Credit, Budgetary and Economic Affairs.
"However, other participant countries believe that it would contradict
the principles of the organization," Gagik Minasyan told a press
conference in Yerevan on May 25 .
BSEC Memorandum of Understanding for the coordinated development of
the Black Sea Ring Highway provides 7140 km long highway construction.
The main route will include following cities: Istanbul (Turkey),
Samsun (Turkey), Trabzon (Turkey), Batumi (Georgia), Poti (Georgia),
Novorossiysk (Russia), Rostov-on-Don (Russia), Taganrog (Russia),
Mariupol (Ukraine), Melitopol (Ukraine), Odessa (Ukraine), Chisinau
(Moldova), Bucharest (Romania), Constantza (Romania), Haskovo
(Bulgaria), Edirne (Turkey), Komotini (Greece), Alexandropoulis
(Greece), Istanbul (Turkey).
The Memorandum of Understanding for the coordinated development of
the Black Sea Ring Highway was signed in Belgrade on April 19, 2007,
and came into force on November 1, 2008.
