Armenia: Customs - cutting down waiting times to a third
04-09-2014
Armenia and Georgia share a land border of 225km: three crossing
points - Bargatashen, Gogavan and Bavra - connect the two countries.
The traffic grows every year, but the checkpoint facilities remain the
same. With the support of a EURO 61 million project mostly financed by
the European Union and its financial institutions, three new border
crossing points will soon be constructed. Thanks to their
modernization and the introduction of new procedures, the processing
capacity of the three checkpoints will be increased and trade and
transit facilitated. At the same time, security will be
strengthened.Two hundred kilometres from Yerevan, Bagratashen is the
main crossing point. An EU Neighbourhood Info Centre journalist went
there, and this is her report.
This is part of a series of features on projects funded by the EU's
Regional Programme, prepared by journalists and photographers on the
ground or the EU Neighbourhood Info Centre, available in English,
Russian and Armenian.(EU Neighbourhood Info)
