Georgia confirms transit of French “Bastions” to Armenia

APM Terminals Poti confirmed to the Georgian RFE/RL the transit of French “Bastion” offensive armored vehicles intended for Armenia.

“In this particular case, the cargo arrived from an EU country, France, and was sent to Armenia, a country that is not subject to sanctions. In addition, due to the lack of clear instructions from the Georgian government and restrictions imposed by international regulators, APM Terminals Poti cannot unreasonably refuse to accept cargo that is not under sanctions,” the company said in a statement.
