Baku, 11 February: The Georgian government fully guarantees that the
Georgian-bound cargo in transit via Azerbaijan will not be redirected
to any third country, the Georgian ambassador to Azerbaijan, Zurab
Gumberidze, has told Trend.
Gumberidze said Azerbaijani officials and customs officers have been
authorized to look into the reports about transport cargo routes and
also to collect information about them.
"The Georgian side is waiting for the results of the investigation. We
hope it will soon be completed and the companies involved in shipping
cargo to Armenia, that is if there were any, will be punished," he
said. Gumberidze said the issue should be brought to an end, because
the piling of goods on the border is detrimental not only to Georgia,
but to TRACECA as a whole.
