YEREVAN.- If the Upper Lars checkpoint is closed, it is more profitable
to carry trucks to Armenia via Turkey's Trabzon port than Georgia's
Poti, director of the Armenian transportation company told Armenian
News-NEWS.am.
Gagik Aleksanian, director of Megatrans company performing
transportation through Turkey, said goods are transported to Armenia
from Turkey but not by the Armenian vans.
"If Turkey allows transportation by our vehicles, we will definitely
win," he said adding that transportation via Trabzon port will be
cheaper than via Georgia's Poti.
"The ferry price in Trabzon is several times lower than in Poti under
the condition that Upper Lars is closed. It is more convenient to
transport goods by land, of course, without reloading the ferry back
and forth. But when Lars is closed, for example in winter, and you
have to take the sea, Turkey is more beneficial," he added.
As reported earlier, the head of Turkish Trabzon port stated that
the port is ready to serve cargos sent to and received from Armenia.
Armenian Communication and Transport Ministry informed Armenian
News-NEWS.am that they had not received any information from the
Turkish side yet.
