The Armenian government on 3 May sought to reroute 63 freight cars carrying fuel and other commodities bound for Armenia that are currently stranded in the Georgian port of Batumi following the destruction on 2 May of bridges and rail lines linking Adjaria with the rest of Georgia, Transport and Communications Minister Andranik Manukian told RFE/RL\'s Armenian Service. On 4 May, the independent Azerbaijani daily \"Ekho\" estimated Azerbaijan\'s losses due to the temporary impossibility of shipping crude oil via Georgia to Batumi for export at $200,000 per day.
