Armenian drivers left helpless in Higher Lars
Eighty Armenian trucks carrying food have been stuck at the Higher Lars passing point on the Russian-Georgian border for ten days. The drivers told "A1+" that "they are waiting helplessly and in despair and don't know how much longer they will wait".
This comes after the not too heavy snowfall.
"It snowed a little in Kazbek and the roads froze. There is no salt being poured and the roads are not being cleaned. There will be more snow in the next couple of days," the drivers say.
They say only one company is permitted to pass the border.
"Who should think about that?" the drivers ask.
Press secretary of the Minister of Transport and Communication Susanna Tonoyan told "A1+" that the ministry had nothing to do with the drivers. According to her, the cars belong to private companies and are located on the border of another country.
