New route for Russia-Armenian trade

Georgian paper The Messenger reports that Russia is allowing traffic through the Roki Tunnel, between North and South Ossetia, and Georgia officials have stopped some buses entering Georgia proper from South Ossetia.

It also mentions the new Astrakhani (Russia)-Enzeli (Iran)-Meghri (Armenia) route, designed to bypass Georgia altogether.
I'll have to look at the map and see how long that is.
