Azerbaijan, Baku, 26 August/ Trend , corr E. Ismayilov/ A new filling station of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) will be inaugurated in Gurdjaani (Georgia) on 29 August, Mahir Mammadov, director general of SOCAR Georgia said on 26 August.
"New filling station in Gurdjaani is expected to be opened on 29 August," Mammadov said.
New filling stations were opened in Teleti and Bolnisi on 23 August. The opening of filling station by SOCAR in Poti will become possible after traffic in this direction is normalized. The restrictions on traffic do not allow dispatching oil products to the station. The filling station was expected to become operational on 6 to 7 August; however, the conflict in Georgia hindered it.
