Плохие погодные условия привели к сбоям с движением транспорта на Южном Кавказе

Сильный снегопад и опасность схода лавин в минувшие выходные вызвали серьезные проблемы с движением транспорта на Южном Кавказе.

Автомобильная дорога Ларс-Степанцминда была полностью закрыта грузинскими властями в субботу днем из-за опасности схода лавин. Ведущая к КПП Верхний Ларс (граница с Россией), является основной сухопутной связью между Россией и Грузией и Арменией. Власти Грузии сообщили своим армянским коллегам в субботу днем (18 марта), что дорога закрыта для всех видов транспорта.

В субботу снегопад также вызвал хаос на армянских дорогах с закрытием стратегического перевала Варденяц. Ситуация улучшилась к утру понедельника после того как дорога была немного очищена. Однако, автомобильная дорога Берд-Чамбарак была закрыта в понедельник утром из-за сильной метели и льда на дороге. По словам армянских источников, дорожные службы продолжают работать.

В Азербайджане проливные дожди подпортили атмосферу праздника Навруз.

Military parade to be held in Beijing as China and Russia reaffirm close ties

Chinese leader Xi Jinping welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin as an “old friend” as the two began a series of meetings Tuesday at a time when their countries face both overlapping and differing challenges from the United States. Relations between China and Russia have deepened in recent years, particularly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. According to AP, Putin addressed Xi as “dear friend” and said that Moscow’s ties with Beijing are “at an unprecedentedly high level.” Following their formal talks, they planned to have another meeting over tea with some of their top aides. The talks come the day after both attended a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the nearby Chinese city of Tianjin, and the day before a grand Chinese military parade in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
