BUSINESSES OF RUSSIA AND ARMENIA SHOULD HELP PEOPLE OVERCOME ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION - VARDANYAN
DILIJAN, June 3. /ARKA/. Business of Russia and Armenia should help
their countries to mitigate hardship on populations from transformation
from one economic system to another, co-director of Sberbank CIB
Ruben Vardanyan said.
According to the businessman, Russian and Armenian societies are
currently going through not an easy process that is often very painful
as the governments fail to fully ensure a mild transformation.
But on the other hand, Vardanyan says, the world is becoming more
competitive and dynamic, and the government-private partnership makes
the process more effective and fast.
'I believe it is a very important and necessary mechanism that should
exist both in Russia and Armenia', Vardanyan said in responding
ARKA's question.
Vardanyan said the projects he is doing are not pure charity. An
attempt is made to make the mechanisms work on their own, without
donors and philanthropists and to launch changes in economic situation
through anchor projects like in Tatev and Dilijan, the businessman
said. For instance, the 'Wings of Tatev" ropeway helped boost tourism
in Siunik region, hence create new hotels and new jobs.
The 5.7-kilometer-long aerial tramway, built by Austrian-Swiss
Dopplemayer/Garaventa transports visitors from the village of
Halidzor across the Vorotan gorge to the village of Tatev, within
walking distance of the monastery, allowing tourists and visitors to
bypass a 90-minute drive on a road in and out of the Vorotan River
Gorge. The cable car travels at a speed of 37 kilometers per hour
(23 miles per hour) and a one-way journey takes 11 minutes. At its
highest point over the gorge, the car travels 320 meters (1,056 feet)
above ground level. It has two cabins, each capable of carrying
up to 25 passengers. The cable car is part of a $45 million-dollar
public-private effort to develop tourism at Tatev and in the overall
region of Syunik. The aerial tramway was officially registered by a
representative of the Guinness World Records as the world's longest
aerial tramway built to transport visitors. -0--
