    April 2 2013

    Yerevan/Mediamax/. Black Sea Silk Road Corridor ( BSSRC) program
    which involves Armenia, Georgia and Turkey started today.

    President of Armenian Monuments Awareness Project (AMAP) Richard Ney
    said that the two-year initiative consists of 2 phases: the whole
    route will be outlined within the first year and information desks
    will be installed in the sights of the countries, Mediamax reports.

    The second phase of the program will comprise development of 5 apps
    for smartphones and an electronic portal will be launched. More than
    100 enterprises - hotels, tourism agencies etc - will be involved in
    the online guide.

    The Armenian route will include 43 sites in Yerevan, Shirak,
    Aragatsotn, Kotayk, Gegharkunik, Vayots Dzor and Syunik marzes.

    In Armenia, the project is funded by the EU Black Sea Cross Border
    Cooperation framework, USAID through its EDMC Project, and AMAP as
    the lead implementer. Over EUR1.2mln will be allocated to the two
    countries for implementation of the program and Armenian share will
    make EUR325 thousand.

    U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John Heffern attached importance to
    the implementation of the program from the standpoint of regional
    cooperation. According to him, cooperation of various structures is
    also critical.

    The program aims to promotion of local (rural) services and make
    the information on Armenian monuments and sights more available
    to tourists.
