    PRESS RELEASE

    28-07-2006

    Acting Press Secretary Vladimir Karapetian Replies to
    Question by Panorama.am Electronic Newspaper

    Question: What is the situation with the Armenian citizens gathered at the
    Ergnet border crossing point in Georgia? What news do you have?

    Mr. Karapetian: We were informed tonight that the Georgian authorities have
    decided as an exception to allow the citizens of Armenia to pass the border
    crossing point near Egnet. We would like to reiterate our gratitude for this
    step taken by a good neighbour.

    During the coming hours, a string of cars accompanied by the representatives
    of the Armenian Embassy in Tbilisi and the OSCE office in Georgia will be
    headed for Armenia.

    I take this opportunity to once again appeal to those citizens of the
    Republic of Armenia who travel from Russia to Armenia via Georgia not to
    take the road passing through South Ossetia. Georgia. The South Ossetia
    administrative border crossing point is not functioning. The only possible
    way to reach Armenia from Russia today is by means of the Poti -
    Novorossiysk ferry.
