YEREVAN, AUGUST 11, ARMENPRESS. Works continue over launching the Armenian ferry boat service for cargo shipment from Georgia’s Port of Poti in the Black Sea to Russia’s Port Kavkaz in Kerch Strait, the Armenian Minister of Economy Vahan Kerobyan said.

“We are now finalizing the work, soon the timetables will be released,” he said, adding that the option of using Port of Poti is being considered.

“This is not an easy matter, especially when it was being accompanied by heavy geopolitical changes and pressure, but nevertheless, we hope our work will give results soon,” he said.

Kerobyan earlier said that they are ready to launch the ferry service in August.

Earlier in March, the government said it will subsidize Poti-Port Kavkaz regular ferry connection for imports or exports.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
