Armenian truck traffic through Georgia has slowed down again. This was stated by Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan during the debates on the report on the implementation of the 2024 state budget of Armenia at Monday’s meeting of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Economic Affairs—and answering the questions of the MPs.

The Ministry of Economy and the State Revenue Committee of Armenia, as Papoyan noted, are constantly receiving data from their Georgian counterparts on how many Armenian trucks have left for Russia through Georgia and how many are still on the roads of this country.

According to the minister, he received a letter Monday from his Georgian colleagues.

“They promised to call during the day and discuss the repeated delays of vehicles,” Papoyan said.

The minister noted that for some time, Armenian trucks did not event pass at all via Georgia.

“Then, for one or two days days, the speed of passage was quite sufficient for the Armenian side. Today, there is a pace, but it’s slow—a few vehicles [i.e. Armenian trucks] per day,” noted Gevorg Papoyan.

He emphasized that the Armenian side is fulfilling all the agreements reached so far. Now he expects his Georgian colleagues to also fulfill their share of responsibilities.
