The Minister of Transport and Communication Gurgen Sargsyan said in a
briefing that Armenia has no problems with benzene reserves. The oil
is imported from Poti and Batumi as usual. "The railway is working
as usual and the information that if the railway is not working is
not true; these are pure rumors," said the Minister.
Panorama.am took an initiative to study the situation. Talking with
representatives of "Flash" and "Araks" companies we were informed
that only directors are authorized to answer such questions, but they
were out for a break. From "Mika" company we were informed that "the
reason is the war in Georgia. It is a week our wagons are sticked in
there." In the local benzene networks the situation is different:
in some places benzene is sold only by checks, in others it is not
sold. But one thing is common: benzine has limited purchase.
