The President of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, on Friday attended the official opening of a new customs terminal on the border with Georgia.

Sargsyan toured this terminal’s departments, which are equipped with modern apparatus, the Armenian News-NEWS.am reporter informed from on location.

The modernization of Armenia’s three checkpoints on the border with Georgia is carried out with assistance by the European Union (EU), and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

The budget of this project is €52.13 million.

Two of these three checkpoints—namely, Bagratashen and Gogavan—are actually in operation since October, whereas work is still in progress at the Bavra checkpoint.
