Overview
Armenia has seven international state border crossing points (BCP), four of which are operational on the Georgian border: Bavra, Gogavan, Bagratashen (road) and Ayrum (rail). The road crossing points with Georgia are of particular importance, as it is estimated that approximately 80 percent of Armenia’s trade passes through these three BCPs.
Bagratashen – Sadakhlo: Main Road between Tbilisi and Yerevan. There is main transport between these 2 cities.
