AZERBAIJAN SEIZES 200 OIL PRODUCT CARRIAGES BOUND FOR ARMENIA
YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 22. ARMINFO. The State Customs Committee and
Transport Ministry of Azerbaijan report about the seizure of 200
carriages with oil products on the Azeri-Georgian border. The
carriages are believed to have been going to Armenia.
The carriages were going from the eastern coast of the Caspian
Sea. Now their fate is being negotiated.
Meanwhile Azerbaijan says that it will join TRACECA if it is given
guarantees that no cargos for Armenia will enter its territory.
This is not the first such case. Georgian customs officers are
displeased with such actions by their Azeri counterparts. They say
that this cargo conflict causes big damage to Georgian businessmen and
demand presidential interference.
