The ten -kilometer line of trucks was formed in front of the SARP intersection located on the border with Georgia, which is considered the main gates of Turkey to the regions of Central Asia and the South Caucasus.
According to the Turkish media, the cause of the accumulation of trucks is the problems that arise in the design of international cargo transportation.
According to Turkish drivers, to cross the border of Georgia, on average they have to wait more than a week.
One of the drivers, Osman Kyosha, delivering goods from Istanbul to Azerbaijan, said that he was idle in traffic for five days.
“When I came here, there were about five hundred cars in line, – the driver said.” Now another thousand were added. We do not know when our turn is coming, we end with our products. In a word, we suffer … “
Note that multi-kilometer queues from trucks have been observed recently on the Georgian-Azerbaijani border.
Criminations in the international freight chain cause serious problems with timely delivery to the Azerbaijani market of many mass consumer goods.
In this regard, the words of the Prime Minister of Azerbaijan Ali Asadov, who said that, ultimately, this factor also affects the increase in prices.
