Azerbaijan, Baku, 18 August / Trend corr. E.Ismayilov / It will be possible to open new filling station of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) in the Georgian city of Poti only after the Russian troops pull out from from Senaki city, the SOCAR Energy Georgia told Trend by telephone on 18 August.
