Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) - Turkey has resumed the passage of Uzbekistan's freight vehicles through the Georgian-Turkish border, Dunyo reported, citing the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Earlier, a number of media outlets and social networks received information about the delay in the transport of goods by Uzbekistan on the Georgian-Turkish border.

In accordance with the agreement reached, Uzbek truckers can enter the territory of Turkey after 14 days from the date of departure from Uzbekistan.

The situation is under the control of the diplomatic missions of Uzbekistan in these countries, which maintain contact with drivers - citizens of Uzbekistan, located on the interstate border, pending the expiration of a 14-day period.

The Foreign Ministry recalls that citizens of Uzbekistan located in foreign countries, if necessary, can contact the operational headquarters established at embassies and consular offices of Uzbekistan abroad.
