President Serzh Sargsyan conducted today a working visit to Tavush
marz. The President attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the a
check-point in Bagratashen. The check-point is being constructed in
the framework of the RA State Border Bagratashen, Bavra and Gogavan
Modernization Program. In Bagratashen, the President was familiarized
with the process of implementation of this 60.6 million Euro worth
program and forthcoming works. Reports were made by the Head of the RA
Government State Revenue Committee Gagik Khatchatrian, Head of the EU
Head of Delegation in Armenia Traian Hristea, UN Resident Coordinator
in Armenia Bradley Busetto, Head of the National Security Strategy
Implementation Department of the RA National Security Council Aram
Tananian. The event was attended also by the representatives of the
state border control bodies, international and international financial
organizations, diplomatic corps, and mass media.
Bagratashen, Bavra and Gogavan check-point modernization program is
carried out by the Development Program of the United Nations (UNDP),
construction works are conducted by the French SADE Consortium and
the State Revenue Service is coordinating the entire process. The
program is financed by the EU grant and other credits.
The program will allow to solve the problem of the installment and
development of a comprehensive system of management of the RA state
borders, enhancement of security at the state borders, facilitation of
border crossing processes for the citizens and business entities and
will enhance international trade. It is expected that the modernization
of the cross-points will also considerably improve the living standards
for the local population since it will create temporary jobs for the
period of construction and permanent jobs when the construction is
completed. It will allow to ensure smooth flow of economic activities
through the check-point. In addition, the population will see
improvements in the communication and information related issues.
The modernization process of the RA border check-points commenced
back in 2010 with the Presidential decree on the adoption of the
RA state border security and comprehensive management strategy,
which was followed by the adoption of a program in 2011 aimed at the
realization of relevant measures for the implementation of the strategy
in the period of 2011-2015. The program mentions as a priority the
modernization of three check-points - Bagratashen, Bavra and Gogavan.
On July 22, 2013, President signed another decree which implies
introduction at the RA state border check-point crossing procedures
of the One Stop, One Window approach.
