ArmInfo.Armenia's government has allocated $72,900 for design estimates for construction of a checkpoint in Maraga, Metsamor community, Armavir province (Armenian- Turkish border).
After several companies refused to implement the project, the State Revenue Committee selected the Arbak and Sons company as designer and the Artkon CJSC as general contractor. The SahakyanShin CJSC will act as subcontractor and the Tamo-Shin LLC will act as technical inspector.
Diplomatic sources informed ArmInfo earlier that residents of third countries would probably be allowed to cross Armenia's border into Turkey from July 1, 2023.
Armenia's Premier Nikol Pashinyan announced recently Armenia has higher chances to normalize relations with Turkey. He is hopeful the Armenian-Turkish border will be reopened soon, which will create conditions for developing good-neighborly relations.
"It requires implementation of an agreement on reopening the border for third countries' residents and holders of diplomatic passports in the coming months," he said.
