The Federal Customs Service of Russia is actively looking for new
ways to trade with Armenia, which is complicated because the countries
have no common border.
According to the head of the Federal Customs Service, Andrey
Belyaninov, there are two major routes - one through the Verkhny
Lars-Kazbegi mountain crossing point, another one by sea, through
the Georgian port of Poti.
However there are some problems, according to Belyaninov.
"Unfortunately, the Verkhny Lars-Kazbegi crossing point depends
strongly on the weather. This year alone there were two avalanches, it
was closed, there were victims on the Georgian side," Belyaninov said.
