    The Armenian embassy in Georgia is taking all the necessary steps to
    rescue Armenians trapped at the Ergneti checkpoint on the Georgia -
    South Ossetia border, the Foreign Ministry press service told our
    agency today.

    Armenian ambassador to Georgia Georgiy Khosroyev is keeping in touch
    with representatives of the Georgian authorities, the ministry
    said. The embassy's staff and representatives of the Georgian eparchy
    of the Armenian church went to the Ergneti village today to help
    Armenian citizens.

    Owing to the efforts of the Armenian embassy in Georgia, three
    children and a woman have already been taken to Yerevan from Ergneti,
    the Foreign Ministry press service said.

    The embassy's representatives are also taking measures to ensure the
    security of Armenian citizens.
