Trouble in the Neighborhood: Remember the “road of life”

By Aris Ghazinyan

Military aggression against Iran could not help but impact Armenia, which shares a 42-kilometer border in the valley of the river Arax in the Meghri area of the Syunik region. Despite the small extent of the border, it has a major importance for Armenia, as the bridge over the river is a gateway for blockaded Armenia to the Persian Gulf region.

According to the Embassy of Iran in Armenia, one transport truck from Iran crosses into Armenia every 16 minutes. The bridge itself was built in 1994-1995 and had a great significance for maintaining Armenia in the harshest years of blockade and energy shortage.
