The Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, announced that the competition for the restoration of the Ani Bridge across the Hamidyan River will be held by the Turkish side. This format was chosen to circumvent the procedural difficulties associated with establishing a joint committee of countries without diplomatic relations. At the same time, Armenia will also enter into a contract with the winner. According to Pashinyan, the procedures will be completed soon and the works will begin.
