Tbilisi-APA. "Russia-Georgia war damaged not only Georgia, but on
neighbor Armenia too. Kremlin didn’t consider that Georgia will use
economic pressure cradles against its close partner", said The Georgian
Times in its article "LUKoil and Rompetrol save Armenia blockade".
"According to Russian sources, planes bombed the civilians took
off from Gumru military base. It means that Georgia has a reason to
blockade Armenia. Georgia once more proved its tolerance. Otherwise
Armenia’s condition will worsen, because we have economic pressure
cradles. Armenia uses petrol carried through Georgia. Wheat and other
foods are carried to Armenia via Georgian railways.
The newspaper writes that Armenian meets its need for petrol
in two directions. The first direction is to bring the petrol
from Bulgaria to Batumi port and the next one from Romania
to Poti port. "NefteXimBurgas" Company delivers the petrol to
"Gorpetrolservice" through "Lukoil Georgia". Strange to say, the main
purchaser of this petrol is the Defense Ministry of Armenia. The
second fuel route is Romania-Batumi one. This fuel is brought by
"Rompetrolgeorgia" and delivered to Armenia through "Flash" Company.
