Comment by the Spokesperson of the Foreign Ministry of Armenia on the movement restrictions for the citizens of Armenia and cargo transport through the territory of Georgia
Recently, the Foreign Ministry of Armenia, diplomatic representations of Armenia in the Russian Federation and in Georgia have repeatedly announced that due to unfavorable weather conditions the Gudauri-Kobi section of the Mtskheta-Stepantsminda-Larsi highway remains closed.
At the same time it was announced that the entry of citizens of the Republic of Armenia to Georgia via all roads is restricted (at the Armenian-Georgian, Russian-Georgian, Turkish-Georgian borders and also by air and sea routes).
Taking into consideration that, due to unfavorable weather conditions the road will not be opened before the decision of the Government of Georgia on prohibition of foreigners’ entry to Georgia enters into force (on 18.03.2020 12:00 a.m.), we urge our citizens to return to the place of departure and consider flight options to Armenia, particularly from the airports of Min-Vody, Krasnodar, Rostov-on-Don cities.
