Economy Minister does not believe his visit to Georgia can change anything more than daily contacts with Georgian partners

ArmInfo.I do not believe that my visit to Georgia will be more effective than daily contacts with our Georgian partners regarding the delay of Armenian cargo at the Gezi terminal. Armenian Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan shared a  similar viewpoint with journalists during a briefing, when asked  about a possible resolution to the issue of Armenian trucks carrying wine and cognac products stranded for over 40 days at the Armenian-Georgian border. 

He noted that he still sees his visit to Georgia as a possibility if  necessary. However, he did not provide any details about the  negotiations, current challenges and potential solutions.

The Minister also announced a new program to support cognac  producers. The head of the Ministry of Economic Development clarified that  the program will benefit to those cognac producers  who properly source grapes. In exchange they will receive assistance from the state. "I cannot say more, as the type and mechanisms of assistance still need to be discussed with industry representatives," Papoyan emphasized.
