Youth in Armenia's Tavush call for roadway repairs
18:34 - 07.12.13
Youth activists from Tavush demand urgent repairs of the only safe
roadway in the region, promising to raise funds on their own if no
measures are taken.
Speaking to Tert.am, Siranuysh Melkonyan, a resident of the
north-eastern region and a student at the Yerevan State University's
International Relations Department, said the highway which connects
the towns of Berd, Itsakar, Gandzakar and Ijeven now remains the only
trafficable route which, however, hasn't been repaired since launch.
Another roadway is the one between the villages Vazashen and Paravakar
but it has been close since last year after gun attacked by the
Azerbaijani armed forces, Melkonyan said. There is also the
Berd-Chambarak roadway which is mostly non-trafficable in winter due
to mountain snowfalls, she added.
`We now cross the Berd-Ijevan roadway through mountains. There have
already been two accidents, because the storms never leave the road
clean. But just a few days ago, there were gunshots there too. Only
the enemy's visibility is a little far there,' Melkonyan noted.
Several community governors and the mayor of Berd have conducted a
joint meeting and sent a letter to the president, Melkonyan said,
adding that they haven't got any answer yet. Another letter has been
sent by the youth activists who believe that any problem in Armenia is
solved only on the president's level.
