Arpa Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Where the hell is Sadakhlu//Kakakhlu , is it next to Khojalu that it takes three hours to reach instead of 30 minutes? Is it in Turkey? What kind of Armenian name is that? Read this; SIXTY PERCENT OF GEOGRAPHIC NAMES IN VAYOTS DZOR TO BE REPLACED Armenpress Nov 08 2006 YEGHEGNADZOR, NOVEMBER 8, ARMENPRESS: A special commission that was set up in Vayots Dzor province to examine all geographic names of the region has found that 60 percent of 2,861 such names need to be changed because they are of foreign (mainly Turkic) origin and many are not euphonic. The commission has presented a list of new names to replace the old ones. Local rural and urban communities gave their accord to changing these names. Now they are waiting for a special government decision to do it. An official of the governor's office said the proposed names are either Armenian translations of Turkic names or the original names of the places, rivers, lakes, mountains and other sites that were replaced at one time by Turkic names. WILL ARMENIA HAVE PAYABLE MOTOR-WAYS? A1+ [07:59 pm] 09 November, 2006 RA Government has initiated draft bill on "Motor-ways" which was submitted to the NA for the first hearing. There is a reference to the "payable motor-ways" in the bill which seems to be obscure. "Suppose an investor comes and announces, "It takes people three hours to get to Sadakhlu from Yerevan. I want to open a direct road under the mountains through tunnels. People can get to Sadakhlu within half an hour. "Of course, we shall endorse his proposal as half an hour is less than three hours," says Andranik Margaryan, Minister of Transportation and Communication and adds, "People are free to choose; if they want they can pay and go via shorter route. The payable roads provide alternative solution for the RA passengers." The prospect of employing payable motor-ways in Armenia is still deem as no one has submitted such a proposal to the RA Government yet. Will Armenia have payable motor-ways? Of course! By all means! Provided one gets what one pays for. Will those “payable motor ways” have proper signage, entries and exits, rest stops and comfort stations, tourist information stations to assist tourists who may not know where a certain obscure village is. Let us, by all means have toll highways, mainly applicable to non-citizen tourists loaded with Dollars and Euros, sparing the local peasants hauling their hard earned fruits of their labor. Will there be adequate (friendly) police supervision to monitor highway courtesy and safety? Here in the US we hate the police who will stop us for going even a mile over the limit, but we sooo wish there was one when we break down.

Boghos Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 I hope Armenia has toll roads. The more private sector activity the safest the country will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it in Turkey? What kind of Armenian name is that? I may have found where Sadakhlu/Sadakhlo is. It seems it is in Georgia right across the Arm-Georgian border, on the Yerevan Tbilisi highway . http://www.maplandia.com/georgia/georgia-t...ories/sadakhlo/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
