FEW BENZINE RESERVES. MINISTER GIVES ANOTHER INFORMATION
The Minister of Transport and Communication Gurgen Sargsyan said in a briefing that Armenia has no problems with benzene reserves. The oil is imported from Poti and Batumi as usual. “The railway is working as usual and the information that if the railway is not working is not true; these are pure rumors,” said the Minister.
Panorama.am took an initiative to study the situation. Talking with representatives of “Flash” and “Araks” companies we were informed that only directors are authorized to answer such questions, but they were out for a break. From “Mika” company we were informed that “the reason is the war in Georgia. It is a week our wagons are sticked in there.” In the local benzene networks the situation is different: in some places benzene is sold only by checks, in others it is not sold. But one thing is common: benzine has limited purchase.
