The construction of the road linking Karvachar (former Kelbajar) with Armenia is of strategic, political and economic importance, head of central information department at the office of NKR President said.

David Babayan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter that the road will facilitate export to Armenia.

According to him, from strategic perspective it is another highway linking Armenia with Artsakh, once again highlighting the importance of Karvachar for Armenia.

The construction project envisages over USD 1 mln to be spent. The new road will be 150 km shorter than the present one through Berdzor (former Lachin).
