    Several buses stuck in Georgia en route from Russia to Armenia

    A total of seven passenger buses have gotten stuck on the Georgian
    Military Road - the major highway linking Russia and Georgia across
    the Caucasian Mountain Range - en route from different Russian cities
    to Armenia.

    Several days ago, they passed the Upper Lars checkpoint on the
    Russian-Georgian border and reached the Georgian border post of
    Dariali, where they had to stop.

    The reason was the closure of a road section near the village of
    Kobi, as pavement icing made the passage of heavy-duty trucks and
    buses impossible.

    The passengers had to find private cars and taxis to continue their
    trips, but bus drivers are still with their buses near the Dariali
    post, border officials said.
