Roads in Armenia will be illuminatedMarch 28, 2009 - 17:55 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - ''Road illumination in population centers is a burning issue we're all trying to solve,'' RA Transport Minister Gurgen Sargsyan told a news conference on Saturday. Yet its a costly project Armenia hasn't got an opportunity to fulfill. According to the Minister, the ''brightest country title'' could go to Belgium, where every little street is lighted. ''Illumination issue is being studied in Armenia and a number of interesting suggestions have been submitted. For example, road illumination could be implemented with minimal expenses by using illumination of buildings located along the road,'' Gurgen Sargsyan noted.
