ArmInfo. Georgian-Ossetic armed conflict has had no impact on
cargo traffic from Georgia to Armenia, Minister of Transport and
Communication of Armenia Gurgen Sargsyan said at a press conference
Tuesday.
He said the Georgian port Poti operates and all the cargoes for Armenia
are shipped without problems. Sobut 60 carriages of cargoes were
supplied to Armenia from Georgia last night including 10 carriages
of petrol, 12 carriages of aviation kerosene, 4 carriages of grain
and other commodities.
In the meanwhile, he said, demand for petrol and some food products
grew 3-4 times in Armenia due to artificial excitement. Petrol is
sold with some limitation - 10 liters per person and the tariff at
some petrol stations in the country rose to 600 drams per liter. The
minister explained that the excitement is groundless and pursues
speculative goals. He assured that the necessary demand for petrol
in the country is satisfied and petrol supply to the country is
regular. He underlined that only 18 carriages of grain are now
in Georgia that were shipped at Poti and are currently on the way
to Armenia.
