ARMENIA IS STILL IN BLOCKADE
A1 plus
29-09-2004
Armenia is expecting for a significant freight concerning running
Nuclear Power Plant of Metsamor. Because of actions applied by Russia
towards Georgia within the anti-terrorism struggle the car with the
matter provided for the stations of Nuclear Power Plant remained in
Georgian-Russian frontier.
As a result of negotiations carried on by the Armenian Government an
agreement seems to be made to allow the car to cross the frontier this
evening and to set out to Armenia if the Russian and Georgian frontier
guards manage to find the necessary car among those in the "jam".
Though the leadership of Armenia holds telephone conversations with
the leaders of Russia and Georgia, the problem remains unsettled. "The
Armenian Authorities are not to eliminate the obstacle", Armenian PM
Andranik Margaryan said. Solution to "blockade" of Armenia depends
on the negotiations with Georgian and Russian Authorities.
Freight transport of Armenia has become problematic since Novorosiysk
ferryboat is now under construction. So it is advised to choose
another way by Ilyichevsk ferry.
However, it's not the settlement to the problem, either, as too many
cars are accumulated on Georgia-Russia frontier. Recently about 20
cars were let out to Armenia. But the Georgian side affirms that
there is a problem to let the cars out. There are numerous "Armenian"
cars in the boundary.
