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.
