Единственная дорога, связывающая Грузию и Россию, все еще закрыта после схода селя

Единственная дорога, связывающая Грузию и Россию, остается закрытой после схода селевого потока на прошлой неделе. Участок дороги Казбеги-Верхний Ларс, на севере Грузии, также является единственной сухопутной связью Армении с Россией.

По словам главы Министерства Регионального Развития и Инфраструктуры Грузии, Нодара Джавахишвили, на восстановление дороги "по крайней мере, уйдёт десять дней, максимум две недели", об этом он заявил в пятницу. 800м участок дороги был полностью размыт рекой Терги 23 июня.

Пока же дорога закрыта, грузооборот между Грузией, Арменией и Россией происходит через порты Черного моря.

"Закрытие дороги [в ущелье Дарьял] создает огромные проблемы для грузинских экспортеров, а также для армянского бизнеса," сообщил журналистам премьер-министр Гиорги Квирикашили.

"Мы должны быть надежным партнером для того, чтобы в полной мере реализовать транзитный потенциал Грузии."

Георгий Квирикашвили также сообщил, что была попытка наладить перевозку грузов через территорию Южной Осетии. Он напомнил о действующем в Грузии законе "Об оккупированных территориях", который предусматривает нейтральный статус для Южной Осетии в форс-мажорных ситуациях для перевозки грузов. Но как ему сообщил его армянкий коллега, это стало невозмоным из-за позиции России, которая свазала этот вопрос напрямую со статусом признанной ими территории."

Syrian president al Sharaa at the White House

Syrian president, Mohammed al Sharaa met with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday (10 November). Trump met with Sharaa in the first-ever visit by a Syrian president to the White House, six months after the two first met in Saudi Arabia, and just days after Washington said that the Syrian leader, who once led an Al-Qaeda affiliate group, was no longer a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist." Washington suspended the imposition of Caesar Act sanctions on Syria in part for 180 days, the Treasury Department said as the meeting took place. The move replaces a previous waiver enacted on 23 May, it said On Friday, the US lifted sanctions on Sharaa and Interior Minister Anas Khattab, a day after the UN Security Council took the same step. Sharaa, 42, took power last year after his fighters launched a lightning offensive from their Idlib and overthrew longtime Syrian President Bashar al-Assad just days later on December 8. Syria's regional realignment has since moved  away from key allies of the former regime, Iran and Russia, and toward Turkey, the Gulf - and Washington. Syria's presidency said that Sharaa and Trump discussed the bilateral relationship, "the ways to strengthen and develop it, as well as a number of regional and international issues of common interest." After al Sharaa and Trump met in Riyadh in May, Trump announced he would lift all sanctions on Syria.
