Turkey keen to partake in reconstruction of Minsk roads

Turkish companies are taking a deep interest in the reconstruction of Minsk roads, Director General of the Gorremavtodor Company of the Minsk City Council Ivan Gurinovich said at an operational session in the City Hall.

The specialists of the Belarusian company visited Antalya last week to get familiar with the experience of the Turkish colleagues. The Minsk delegation was, first of all, interested in the traffic management. The amount of crossroads is minimal on the Turkish roads. Preference is given to tunnels that are constructed very quickly, within two or five months.

According to Ivan Gurinovich, members of the Turkish companies expressed interest in the implementation of several projects in Minsk. At present the construction of bridges at Dzerzhinski Avenue and Timiryazeva Street is discussed with the Turkish side. Turkey is ready to send up to 400 constructors to Minsk for these purposes.

A range of issues that yet to be settled include the development of projects, Belarusian and Turkish normative bases and price formation systems. The first negotiations with the officials of the Turkish design organization will take place in Minsk on October 15.
