  Agarakavan village residents block Gyumri-Yerevan road May 20, 2025 - 17:08 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Inhabitants of Agarakavan and adjacent villages in the enlarged Talin community have blocked the Gyumri-Yerevan highway to express their discontent. They demand that the Ministry of Territorial Administration and the Road Department Foundation ensure that the construction of the North-South highway does not result in the closure of the wide and well-maintained road connecting several villages, according to Panorama.am . "Now they are closing that road, directing us to a bridge, saying to walk a kilometer, then cross a dangerous intersection. A few days ago, an ambulance got lost. There is no obstacle; why are you closing this ready road?" residents complained. The mayor of Talin has met with the residents. The protesters stated that if the issue is not resolved, they intend to continue their protest actions and block the highway again. "This road must be opened; there is no other way," they said.
