The segment, produced by Yerkir Media for broadcast on CNN, will present the massive $50-Million Tatev Revival Project to the international arena and share with viewers worldwide the project’s ambitious vision to construct the world’s longest aerial tramway.

The report by Yerkir Media correspondent Gayane Avetisyan will air on CNN International on the following dates and times:

Spearheading the massive $50-million Tatev Revival Project is the National Competitiveness Foundation of Armenia. This public-private partnership is set to officially launch the Project on October 16 with the grand opening of the $13 million aerial tramway. Under construction since last fall, this 3.5-mile tramway will link Armenia’s main regional highway to the village of Tatev and allow visitors to bypass a 90-minute drive in and out of the rocky Vorotan River Gorge to reach the monastery.
