    Azeri minister says crude oil allowed to Georgia without limits

    ANS TV, Baku
    12 Dec 04

    Presenter Some freight railway cars detained on the Azerbaijani border
    were allowed to enter Georgia overnight. The Boyuk Kasik railway
    station has said that 370 railway cars carrying crude oil were allowed
    through. Now, 320 cars with other goods are being held at the station.

    Correspondent over video of the Boyuk Kasik station It is already two
    days that the transit railway cars carrying crude oil via Azerbaijan
    have been allowed to enter Georgia without any restrictions, Ziya
    Mammadov, Azerbaijan's minister of communication, has said. He said
    that on receiving appropriate instructions from the State Customs
    Committee, the railway cars carrying crude oil were allowed to enter
    Georgia and from there on to go to Europe via the Black Sea without
    any problems. But Mammadov said that some goods, especially the oil
    products, are being checked carefully.

    Mammadov Mainly oil products and other goods, flour, are being
    inspected. In general, the inspection of all goods transported through
    Azerbaijan has been stepped up to prevent them from being delivered to
    Armenia via Georgia in future.

    Correspondent Mammadov said that strict measures should be taken on
    the borders so that goods are not redirected to Armenia from
    Georgia. This process will continue until the Karabakh problem is
    resolved in line with official Baku's interests, end of quote.
