YEREVAN, AUGUST 25, ARMENPRESS: Gagik Martirosian, an aide to prime
minister and head of a task force, set up to coordinate transportation
of goods from Georgia to Armenia, told Armenpress that no Armenia-bound
carriage was damaged by an explosion when a train with Azeri oil hit
a mine on an alternative bridge on August 24 overnight.
The disused bridge was reopened for trains while Georgian repairmen
were repairing the key bridge, 40 km west of the city of Gori, that
was blown up on August 16.
Gagik Martirosian said Georgian repair crews repaired the alternative
bridge promptly.
According to Gagik Martirosian, all carriages with Armenia-bound
goods, stranded near the bridge, will start moving to Armenia. He
said normal operation of the Georgian railway is expected later this
week for uninterrupted delivery of commodities to Armenia.
