Georgia didn’t allow two trucks from Russia loaded with bulletproof vests to enter Armenia, according to the Armenian media, the Georgian bureau of Report informs.

The vehicles carrying the ‘humanitarian cargo’ are held for about a month in the neutral zone near the Upper Lars checkpoint on the Russian-Georgian border.

The trucks left Moscow on March 5, and on March 28, Georgian border guards imposed a ban on their movement, confiscating the driver’s and cargo documents.
