Will BSSRC Project save Armenian villages?
The Black Sea Silk Road Corridor (BSSRC) Project is due to kick off in April, 2013. Forty-three Armenian cultural sites will become part of the BSSRC.
The BSSRC Project is a 24-month project that will foster cross-border cooperation and economic development in 173 communities across four countries of the Black Sea Basin - Armenia, Georgia, Greece and Turkey.
In Armenia the project is funded by the EU Black Sea Cross Border Cooperation framework, USAID through its EDMC Project, and the Armenian Monuments Awareness Project, as the lead implementer.
The Project is expected to alleviate rural isolation and develop local communities through eco-friendly tourism to both enhance visitor's experiences and protect cultural monuments and biodiversity.
