Armenian trucks are standing in line at Georgia's Sadakhlo border
checkpoint from early morning today.
Georgian customs officials have forwarded new demands to the Armenian
drivers in connection with Armenian cargo's weight.
Makar Arakelyan, director of Sati cargo transporting company, told
Tert.am the restrictions refer to the cargos going out of Armenia.
"There is an issue of weight difference. They seem not to agree...the
document registering the weight has given a small difference with
their scales," Arakelyan, who is also the chairman of the Cargo
Delivery Union, said.
Arakelyan said the Georgian customs officials demand paying about
2,000 lari ($1,200) fine.
"It seems to be a new decision," the chairman of the Union said,
adding that the issue has raised today as other trucks passed without
problems yesterday, the day before.
Georgia is a transit country for these cargos with fruits and
vegetables mainly being transported to Russia.
Asked whether it is the attitude of the new Georgian authorities and
whether it may harm the local production, Makar Arakelyan said it
is difficult to judge by one day, adding that he cannot say anything
till he gets clear information. He promised to give new information
later today.
