Media: Work at Alijan border checkpoint  with Armenia nears  completion

ArmInfo. Work at the Alijan border checkpoint on the Armenia-Turkey has been  90% completed, according to the Turkish Anadolu Agency. The report notes that work is currently underway at the Alijan border crossing in the  Karakoyunlu district of Igd?r and at the Margara border crossing in  Armenia's Armavir region.

"The construction of new buildings for customs officers and border  guards at the checkpoint is progressing rapidly. In addition,   billboards and announcements are being installed to attract tourists  to visit Igd?r and neighboring border regions," the report states.

The normalization process was announced on December 13, 2021, by  then-Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu. He emphasized that  Ankara would coordinate with Azerbaijan on steps to normalize  relations with Armenia. The parties appointed special representatives  of Turkey and Armenia for the normalization process, Serdar K?l?c and  Ruben Rubinyan. They have already held several rounds of talks, but  have not yet reached any breakthroughs.
