GEORGIA RAISES RAIL TARIFFS FOR AZERBAIJAN, BUT NOT ARMENIA
By empty (2/12/2004 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Georgian Railways has imposed a $6 tariff per ton of crude oil transported by rail across its territory from Azerbaijan, and an $8-per-ton tariff for other fuel transported to and from Azerbaijan via Georgia, RFE/RL\'s Yerevan bureau reported on 11 February. Those fees do not apply to Armenia, which for years has been trying to persuade Tbilisi to reduce rail-transport tariffs. The newly appointed director of Georgian Railways, Levan Varshalomidze said that the new charges are intended to boost the company\'s revenues and bring its tariffs closer to international standards.Visit also
