Transport Minister says goods exported to Georgia must be checked

Oil products, including food exported from Azerbaijan to Georgia must
be inspected on the border, Minister for Transport Ziya Mammadov told
journalists on Sunday. `Only this way, the delivery of goods, which
are exported from Azerbaijan to Georgia, to Armenia will be
prevented. I think, the process should be continuous and each
carriage be checked,’ noted Mammadov, stressing that the Azerbaijani
President has given relevant instructions on the matter.
`It is necessary to check every carriage on the border unless the
Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Upper Garabagh is settled within the
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan,’ he emphasized.*
