The Turkish and Georgian bus drivers finally permitted the forty-seven
passengers-who were heading to Armenia's capital Yerevan from Istanbul,
and who were stranded inside the bus, for nearly a day, at the Georgian
side of the Armenia-Georgia border-to leave the bus and pick up their
belongings, a passenger told Armenian News-NEWS.am. The passenger
also informed that they will have to find their own way to charter
another bus to arrive in Yerevan. The Turkish and Georgian bus drivers
refused to drive further.
Armenia's Embassy in Georgia confirmed this information, too,
adding that the passengers, who are presently at the neutral zone,
must cross the Armenian-Georgian border with their belongings.
To note, the bus passengers were kept "hostages" by the Turkish and
Georgian drivers because the latter had not received their salaries.
