Armenian alcohol producers rallied outside the Georgian Embassy in Yerevan, demanding answers over prolonged border delays they say are blocking exports to Russia and causing major financial losses.
A group of Armenian alcohol exporters and producers held a protest outside the Georgian Embassy in Yerevan on Tuesday, voicing frustration over what they describe as extended delays at the Armenian-Georgian border that are disrupting trade routes to Russia.
According to Armenian media, the demonstrators allege that Georgian authorities are holding up trucks transporting Armenian goods, requiring additional laboratory tests within Georgian territory. Exporters claim these measures have left shipments stranded for weeks, inflicting millions in financial losses for businesses and transport companies.
Protesters called for a clear explanation from the Georgian side and greater transparency on the border procedures that are impacting regional trade. After some time, an embassy staff member emerged to speak with the group and requested a list of affected companies, noting several names before returning inside.
Frustrated by the lack of immediate resolution, protesters escalated their demonstration by blocking the road leading to the embassy in both directions. Waving Armenian and Georgian flags, they held up signs reading “Hands Off Armenian Producers,” underscoring their call for fair treatment and cooperation.
One protester noted that, so far, no clear guidance has been received from Armenian authorities either, with officials only saying that efforts to resolve the issue are ongoing. Exporters are now urging both governments to act swiftly and prevent further disruptions to cross-border trade.
