  • Several Hundreds of Carriages Still on Georgian-Azerbaijani Border

    SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF CARRIAGES STILL ON GEORGIAN-AZERBAIJANI BOUNDARY



    TBILISI, FEBRUARY 2. ARMINFO-BLACK SEA PRESS. Despite the statements
    of a number of Georgian state structures that the problem with
    blockade of carriages in the Georgian-Azerbaijani was solved long ago,
    Head of the Union of Producers, Importers and Consumers of Oil
    Products of Georgia Vano Mtvralashvili says that hundreds of carriages
    are still on the boundary. In particular, on Jan 30 some 500 carriages
    with wheat, liquefied gas and diesel were blocked on the boundary.

    He says that the carriages were to be sent back to the point of
    dispatch, but later another decision was made to leave them on the
    boundary until the investigation carried out by the Azerbaijani party
    is over. As a result, importers suffer serious financial losses, as
    they pay for lease of carriages daily. After all, the cargoes of
    several of them are blocked on the boundary for already two
    months. Mtvralashvili says that the problem can be finally solved
    through negotiations at a high political level with participation of
    Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.

    Since the beginning of November 2004, the Azerbaijani party started
    detaining the trains from Azerbaijan to Georgia on the station
    Beyuk-Kyasik being concerned for the fact that a number of cargoes
    could occur in Armenia. It would contradict to the international
    agreement between Azerbaijan and Georgia in the summer of 2004 banning
    transit of cargoes of a third country to the prejudice of Azerbaijan
    and Georgia. In November only the cargoes of Azerbaijani production,
    including crude oil, petrol and diesel arrived in Georgia without
    limitations. The officers of the Azerbaijani Customs Committee began
    examining the documents related to the destination of each
    carriage. In case of any doubts related to the destination, the
    Azerbaijani party carried out investigation.
