CARRIAGES ON BORDER WITH AZERBAIJAN STILL BLOCKED
TBILISI, FEBRUARY 18. ARMINFO-BLACK SEA PRESS. The Union of Producers,
Importers and Consumers of Oil Products of Georgia intends to make
an appeal to the State Chancellery addressed to President Mikheil
Saakashvili asking for a solution to the problem with blockade of
carriages on the Georgian-Azerbaijani boundary, Vano Mtvralashivili
says at a press conference.
He says that the problem originated in early November 2004 may be
solved only with support of the country's president. He says that
316 carriages are blocked on the boundary at the station Meyuk-Kyasik
alone.
Mtvrashlashvili says that many companies applied to the Union for
assitance, including three Georgian companies, which yet in Oct-Nov
purchased in the Azerbaijani town of Sumgait products of the plants
"Azerkhim," "Gun OIl" LTD, "Nero" LTD, Favorite LTD. He says that
these companies have letters proving that their cargoes were not for
Armenia as well as relevant references of the Georgian Customs Office,
however the carriages are delayed on the border for unknown reasons.
In his turn, Commercial Director of "Sakartvelos Rkinigza" Ramaz
Giorgadze says that the problem is being solved due to negotiations
of Georgian and Azerbaijani parties, and of 700 carriages not only
316 remain on the border. He says that the company did not suffer any
direct damage from the delay of the carriages. It has not received
the incomes from reception and departure of the carriages, but as
soon as the problem is solved, the Georgian party will receive the
expected sums.
It should be noted that in early Nov 2004 the Azerbaijani party started
detaining the carriages from Azerbaijan to Georgia in order that they
do not occur in Armenia.
