YEREVAN. - Frequent cases of shelling from Azerbaijani side hamper
construction of a new bypass road at the Tavush Region of Armenia's
Paravakar-Vazashen section.
Representative of Ijevan Construction company briefed Armenian PM
Hovik Abrahamyan on the road construction. The bypass road is being
built because the main highway often becomes a target for Azerbaijani
snipers.
The bypass road is also within the reach of Azerbaijani snipers, but
to a lesser extent than the main one. New road was expected to be put
into operation on June 30, but it still not ready.
The Armenian journalists have witnessed violations of the ceasefire by
the Azerbaijani side during PM's visit, too.
"They used to fire less. Now the shots are frequent, and this makes it
difficult to work. Azerbaijani snipers often are firing at equipment.
As soon as the works begin, they start firing," one of the workers
said.
The length of a bypass road is 3-kilometer and 180 meters, and has
protective walls in the most dangerous areas that are targeted by
Azerbaijani fire.
