EXCISABLE GOODS SHIPMENT THROUGH CAUCASUS PORT TO FACILITATE ARMENIAN EXPORTS, YAKUNIN SAYS

YEREVAN, June 15. /ARKA/. The Russian Railways hails shipment of
excisable goods though the Caucasus port, said President of the
Russian Railways Vladimir Yakunin.
This will help solve numerous problems Armenian exporters face,
he added.
Georgia is the only country linking Armenia-Russia railway
communication though the Russian Caucasus port and Georgian Poti. The
Black Sea Ferries Limited, owned 51% by the Russian Railways, operates
the ferry.
According to Yakunin, the Russian Customs Committee is going to adopt
a relevant decision in the near future.
"We consider it to be our responsibility as Armenia's partner in
shipment business," Yakunin added.
Deputy President of the Russian Railways Avtandil Gorgiladze previously
said the weak point of the Caucasus-Poti ferry's operations was
that the Russian customs agencies had initially agreed on imports of
cement, concrete, road metal, sodium silicate, construction stones,
facing ceramics, pearlite and synthetic rubber, while Russia has no
limitations in exporting goods to Armenia via the Caucasus port.--0--
