SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT SINCE THE START 2.1 Commencement of services The contract for the ‘Feasibility Study for Rehabilitation and the Reconstruction of the Road Link between Baku, Tbilisi and Yerevan’ was signed on 13th December 2000. Following the signing of the contract, a consortium agreement and a working programme was agreed between the consor- tium members. The first activities included the arrangement of the logistics (accommodation, office, transportation, apparatus and instrumentation) of the project. Project offices, within the premises of our local as- sociates, were assigned to the team. Simultaneously, personnel arrangements were made for both the foreign and the local teams, to commence concurrently in the three project countries. Commu- nication links between the project offices, the project coordinator, and the respective Consultant’s head offices were established (address, telephone, fax, e-mail). Commencement meetings with the beneficiaries have been conducted by the Consultant. The general purpose of the meetings were consultation, facilitation, coordination and management of the project. The major particular purpose was to obtain the requirements of the Recipient Institu- tions, so that the needs of the Beneficiaries could be considered by adapting the work plan, taking into account the activities of other projects, and the requirements of prospective International Fi- nancing Institutions (IfI’s). 2.2 Activities and project progress since the beginning The major achievements of the project are: Armenia Traffic surveys and forecasts were carried out mainly during February and March. The Consult- ant noticed that there exists quite a remarkable record of previous & up to date traffic counting re- sults. The Road Authorities are implementing certain traffic counting on monthly basis on 4th and 19th day of every month. There are also records of traffic accidents that have come to the knowl- edge of the police. Desk studies for field surveys were carried out during February and March. Several field recon- naissance visits have been made starting from January. Specialist and experts have made field reconnaissance visits after commenced their services in the Project. Topographic surveys were commenced in January. Road pavement studies such as roughness, surface distress and deflection were mainly carried out during February – March. Pavement structure investigations such as trial pitting, coring and laboratory testing were mainly carried out during February – March. The Dynamic Cone Penetration Testing (DCPT) was decided not to carry out, because the ex- isting alignment will be kept. For measurements of the existing pavement strength FWD testing is adequate. This has been discussed and agreed by the Project Management Meeting with Arme- nian Roads. Roughness survey was carried out for the whole length of the road sections involved the Project by using Roadman device in February. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ KOCKS CONSULT GMBH – BCEOM – FINNROAD Ltd. - 2 - Feasibility Study for Rehabilitation and the Reconstruction of the Road Link Between Baku, Tbilisi and Yerevan Deflection survey was commenced during March. The survey was carried out only in those sec- tions that are included in the Project and have not been rehabilitated under the WB Loan No. 1. Also the sections Km 127+650 – 135+160 and 136+960 – 152+900 of the Ashtarak – Vanadzor – Stepananvan – Tashir road that already have been designed were not included, anyhow the de- signs of this section have been revised and updated. Geotechnical and construction material surveys and studies were commenced during February. The Project and the Consultant have also maintained close co-operation with World Bank’s new Task Manager. The Country Team Leader, during his visits Tbilisi has also visited and introduced Project activities in Traceca and Tacis offices in Tbilisi.

  • Breaking the Ice: the Role of Civil
    The failure of the 2009 Protocols to establish and develop diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey has largely overshadowed the success of civil society organizations in advancing the normalization process over the past decade. This report aims to help address this imbalance through a detailed account Breaking the Ice: of the United States Department of State-funded “Dialogue-Building between Turkey and Armenia” project, implemented by the Global Political Trends Center (GPoT) of Istanbul Kültür University, Internews Network, Internews Armenia, the Yerevan Press Club and CAM Film between September 2010 and December 2011. The Role of Civil Society and Media in Including an introduction that analyzes the current “frozen” state and historical background of Turkish- Armenian relations, Breaking the Ice: The Role of Civil Society and Media in Turkey-Armenia Relations presents the writings and reflections of the dozens of Turkish and Armenian journalists and students who participated in the project. The output of the Dialogue-Building Project demonstrates the continued, if not Turkey-Armenia Relations heightened, importance of civil society and media-based initiatives in the Turkey-Armenia normalization process, post-Protocols. Susae Elanchenny & Narod Maraşlıyan Since its founding in 2008, GPoT Center has played an active role in rapprochement and reconciliation projects between Turkey and Armenia through organizing numerous exchanges, roundtable discussions and conferences with the participation of leading Turkish civil society activists, academics, journalists and retired diplomats.

Armenia is an ancient land with a rich culture and identity. A cradle of civilisation which flourished on its fertile high plateaus and gained protection and sanctuary in its mountainous landscape. It is a land fought over by Byzantine, Persian, Roman and Islamic empires as an important centre and a major component of the ancient Silk Trading Routes. Armenia was also the seat of ancient kings who embraced early Christianity in the 3rd century making Armenia the first sovereign nation in the world to adopt Christianity and a centre for pilgrimage and ecclesiastical architecture, culture and learning. In modern times, Armenia was part of the Soviet Union and became independent in 1991.

  • ARMENIA (Via Georgia) in 2016
    BIRD TOURISM REPORTS 4/2016 Petri Hottola ARMENIA (via Georgia) in 2016 Fig. 1. Late spring is the time of flowers in the Caucasus region. From 25th April to 6th May, 2016, I finally was able to travel to Armenia for birding, and also to realize my third visit in Georgia, after a long break since the nation became free of Russian rule. The journey was quite an enjoyable one and inspired me to write this report to help others to get there, too. I myself was particularly encouraged and helped by a 2014 report by two Swedes, Thomas Pettersson and Krister Mild. Vasil Ananian was also contacted in regard to Caspian Snowcock and he let me know the current situation, helping to avoid sites which have become empty or required a local guide. I have nothing against somebody employing a guide to guarantee a better success rate in this case, but being guided is not my personal preference. The main target species of the trip were as follows: For Georgia – Caucasian Grouse, Caucasian Snowcock, Güldenstädt’s Redstart and Great Rosefinch. For Armenia – Dalmatian Pelican, Caspian Snowcock, See-see Partridge, Radde’s Accentor, Eurasian Crimson-winged Finch, Mongolian Finch and Black-headed Bunting. Even though my life list already was around 7.300 in April 2016, I still missed some relatively common species such as the pelican and the bunting. The secondary target list, the Western Palaearctic region lifers, included: Red-tailed Wheatear, Upcher’s Warbler, Menetries’s Warbler, Eastern Rock Nuthatch, Wallcreeper, White-throated Robin, Red-fronted Serin, Grey-necked Bunting and Pale Rock Sparrow.
