The situation at the checkpoint of Upper Lars has not only found a solution but there is even no hope that in the near future the problems will be fixed. According to different sources, the number of the stuck trucks at the border is 300. Moreover, if in the past the drivers hoped that during the visit of President Serzh Sargsyan to Georgia this matter will be resolved. But it didn’t happen and they are all desperately waiting for the final decision of the government. In this regard we asked the director of Apaven freight moving company Gagik Aghajanyan to comment, who is in Tbilisi on these days. He is sure that the cargo companies have their own guilt in created situation. Their trucks are stuck at the checkpoint. “We have numerously said that after November 15 thee road is blocked and driving through Lars is really becoming dangerous. They shouldn’t have done it and put the government in such an uncomfortable situation,” said Aghajanyan. As a solution Aghajanyan suggests that the drivers pick a different route. “They can easily go to Kerch port. In that case they will have to re-formulate the documents but it will be easier compared to the past and no additional costs are required,” he mentioned. Let us mention that the alternative route is possible but it requires additional fuel, which keeps the drivers away from that idea.
