To recall, the Government of Armenia adopted a Border Security and State Border Integrated Border Management Strategy in 2010.

UNDP supported the Government of Armenia to raise EUR 42 million from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and European Investment Bank to start the "Modernization of Bagratashen, Bavra and Gogavan Border Crossing Points" project. The international company "Safege" was contracted for supervision of the works in Bagratashen, Bavra and Gogavan BCPs. Consulting company "Arhis" was contracted for supervision of the works of the engineering networks' installation and design and supervision of the construction works of the access road to Gogavan BCP.
