Georgia Today

Georgian Prime Minister’s office has said in the recent publication that Georgia-Armenia and Georgia-Azerbaijan borders will be closed for 10 days, starting from Saturday, March 14.

Reportedly, PM Gakharia held phone conversations with his Armenian and Azerbaijani counterparts. All sides agreed on limiting the travel amid the fear of the coronavirus. The traffic of goods will still be allowed during the 10 day period from March 14 to 24.

“Following the conversation with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani Prime Minister Ali Asadov a joint decision was taken to close Georgia-Armenia and Georgia-Azerbaijan borders for 10 days.
At the same time, the parties agreed to ensure that the return home of their citizens would be unimpeded. The restrictions do not apply to goods traffic,” reads the Facebook post of Georgian Government.

Emil Lazarian: “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
