    YEREVAN, AUGUST 12, ARMENPRESS: Transport and Communication Minister
    Gurgen Sargsian said today Armenia's rail communication with Georgia
    has not been affected by the fighting in Georgia. "There have been
    no changes in the train schedule and trains from Yerevan to Tbilisi
    and Batumi continue to run as planned," he said today to journalists.

    He said all Armenia-bound goods that were at Bagratashen crossing on
    the border with Georgia were brought to Armenia, including ten railways
    cars with petrol, 12 cars with kerosene for aircrafts, 11 cars with
    diesel fuel, 4 cars with wheat and 24 cars with different commodities.

    According to the minister, there are 18 cars with Armenia-bound wheat
    now in Georgia. He said the wheat was unloaded two days ago at Poti
    port into railway cars and will arrive soon in Armenia.

    He said thousands of Armenian citizens had been already evacuated
    from Georgia by buses and minibuses. The convoys of Armenian evacuees,
    led by Georgian police patrols, move along the road that runs through
    Georgia's Armenian- populated Javakheti region to the Bavra border
    crossing in northwestern Armenia, he said.
