civilnet.am Azerbaijani policemen are demanding $130 in cash from Iranian drivers on the Vorotan section of the Goris-Kapan road for driving through their territory. This was reported by Gevorg Tosunyan, the correspondent of Civilnet, who talked with the Iranian drivers.

“The Iranian drivers told us that the Azerbaijani police stopped them and informed them that they had entered Azerbaijani territory. The Azerbaijanis demanded each driver to pay $130. When the drivers said that they had no money, the Azerbaijani police took the data of their passports and cars and said that the payment should be made upon their return,” Tosunyan said.

According to the correspondent, the Azerbaijanis placed a large trilingual sign near Karmrakar and Vorotan with the inscription “You are entering the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan”.
