Legal framework not yet developed to pass to toll roads in Armenia
A legal framework has not yet developed to pass to toll roads in Armenia and there is no relevant experience in this sphere, RA Transport and Communications Minister Gurgen Sargsyan told a press conference in Yerevan today. 

According to transport minister, this issue has been repeatedly discussed in the government and parliament of Armenia.  He recalled that the Armenian prime minister instructed the Ministry of Economy to develop a draft law, and only after a thorough discussion of the issue the issue of passage to toll roads can be decided. There is no experience with toll roads in the entire region, except the single tunnel in Georgia charging a symbolic fee, he added.
