ArmInfo. Soon, the issue of blocking Iranian trucks by the Azerbaijani police post on the sovereign territory of Armenia will be resolved. Minister of Economy  of Armenia Vahan Kerobyan stated this during a briefing on September  16.

"Of course, this created obstacles, but I am sure that soon we will  resolve this issue," the official said. At the same time, he noted  that in the event of a worst-case scenario, there is a "plan B". In  this regard, he recalled the bypass road, which, however, is not in  the best condition, however, it is working. Kerobyan noted that  intensive work is underway today to improve its cross-country  ability.

"In addition, we are close to starting work on the Kajaran-Sisian  road section of the North-South transport corridor. The government  intends to invest 487 billion drams (about $ 1 billion) for the  construction of this section, "he said.

Recall that in early September, the Azerbaijani side established a  police post on the sovereign territory of the Republic of Armenia,  blocking the M2 Yerevan-Kapan interstate road near the village of  Vorotan, Goris region.
