Georgian cargo still held at Azeri border
The Georgia Ambassador to Azerbaijan Zurab Gumberidze told
Azerbaijan's Trend News Agency that the two countries need guaranteed
mechanisms of control over cargo transportations through Azerbaijan.
The ambassador was commenting on the detention of cargo bound for
Georgia by Azeri officials concerned that some of the cargo might
then be transported to Armenia.
He said that there are currently 700 cars detained by Azerbaijani
Customs, and that this situation has caused levels of new cargo to
fall. As owners are afraid of incurring losses as a result of their
products standing idle at the border.
Gumberidze denied the statement of Azeri Prime Minister Arthur
Rasizade that Georgia had not presented the necessary transportation
documents, saying that "the Georgian side presented enough documents
for a prompt settlement of the situation."
