    AZERBAIJAN DEMANDS THAT GEORGIA COMPLY WITH THEIR AGREEMENT BANNING
    RAILROAD TRANSIT TO THIRD COUNTRIES

    TBILISI, NOVEMBER 30. ARMINFO. Azerbaijan demand that Georgia comply
    with their summer agreement banning transit of railroad cargoes to
    third countries. "Most probably the cargoes going to Georgia were
    stopped in Azerbaijan because part of them is imported into Armenia,"
    says Azeri Ambassador to Georgia Ramiz Gasanov.

    "Imagine if we start supplying fuel into Abkhazia or South Ossetia. Is
    it against Georgia's national interests? I think yes it is," says
    Gasanov noting that Azerbaijan and Georgia have mutual understanding
    of the problem.

    Azeri customs commissioners are coming to Georgia today to discuss
    what to do with each carriage stopped on Azeri border.

    Georgian PM Zurab Zvania says he does not see any drama in the
    situation. "We are working with the Azeri side and I am sure that
    there will be no problems here," he says.

    To remind, Azerbaijan has sharply cut railroad transit of
    Georgia-bound cargos. Some 889 carriages have been stalled in
    Beyukiasik (3 km of Georgian border) in Nov alone. Meanwhile th
    Georgian side makes no secret of its delivering cargoes from Central
    Asia to Armenian border - but they say this is because Georgia is a
    transit country.
