Armenian companies have begun delivering construction materials via
the Kavkaz-Poti ferry link which may be destined for the Russian city
of Sochi, the location of the 2014 Winter Olympic games, according
to the news agency Regnum.

The Smati ferry began operating the Kavkaz-Poti route in April,
but only since August has it operated regularly.

It was conceived to alleviate Armenia’s transport blockade with Turkey
and Azerbaijan.

Tbilisi has declared its concern about the 2014 Sochi games, which
will take place just 40 kilometers from Georgia’s breakaway region
of Abkhazia.
