Crossing into Armenia via Bagratashen-Sadakhlo border crossing today took around 2 hours to pass the Georgian passport control. They had crammed ~400 Armenians into a room with no ventilation, low ceilings, scorching hot. Multiple people passed out including children. At one point only 2 border agents were working. Complete disorder and complete disrespect towards Armenians. When I told the Georgian border guard that this is the worst ‘passport control I’ve ever seen’ she turns around and yells me ‘you are the worst nation’. Hopefully our MFA will do something about this (I’ve called the hotline seems no one is answering)

They pulled the same shit when we were coming back to Armenia, they only had one window open until some old man started to make a scene, then they opened 2 more…I think this is intentional from them.
But Armenians won’t learn anything and will keep going there (over 1 million Armenians go there every year and spend money).
Typical Georgian behavior towards our nation.
also it’s not the same when you cross into Georgia, they just want your entry to Armenia be miserable…fuck em.
Can someone share this to news outlets, so that we can raise this issue and get it fixed. It’s ridiculous that Armenians have to go through this humiliation
Georgian state is literally more incompetent than Armenia, this has nothing to do with trying to displease Armenians

Never understood those who go there on vacation.
What is the hustle between Georgia and Armîna?

I thought they hated Persians the most, next to Russians that they hate too. Now I learn they dislike Armenians.
They feel VERY European I guess !
Who created the georgian alphabet?
Ամեն տարի նույն զիբիլնա, մեկա մարդիկ վագոնով էթում են թուրքական Բաթում փող ցպնելու ու անկապ քարոտ ծովում լռվելու համար։ Միքիչ ինքնասիրություն էլի փիսոներ։ Ավելի լավա 2 մանեթ տալ եւ գնալ Եգիպտոս։
We just had a post about the Georgian Armenian union and now this. that’s unacceptable behavior from the Georgian border guard
As a Georgian: this situation and the guard’s attitude is really a shame! The only thing I can say is that not only Armenians suffer in such long queues at the airport, they seem to not have enough staff in general.
The guard’s racism is inexcusable though.
Why? What does this achieve?
I will never ever go through the Georgian border crossing ever again. In 2014, I was traveling with a group, and they detained 2 of our group members for 48 hours for having prescription medication with them. They questioned me incessantly over a bottle of pepto bismol. They were rude and nasty. You could feel their hatred. It was the worst travel experience of my life.
Disgusting behavior. Am a Georgian and we don’t like bullshit like this, don’t lump every Georgian together because we aren’t all hateful pieces of shit like this.
You need to fight for oxygen in Zvartnots as well, incompetence of authorities. Love Georgia and hope they will fix situation soon
Hm.. just when I thought visiting Georgia!!!
Mods need to remove any hate speech. The agents is an idiot. Do not generalize but definitely raise awareness.
And in Armenia there is absolutely no issues with that
Explains why we are richer than Georgia even without sea access and with the blocked borders
Armenia being the most liberal, democratic and pro-western country in the Transcaucasia is mind-blowing honestly
If you have the recoding of the guard being racist, send it through EU humanitarian channels, all of a sudden the Georgian government will start to care about their guards.
I apologize as a Georgian, total bullshit how they behaved
Why there is so much hatred for Georgia and Georgians based just on this situation? It’s insane, fellas. What the hell?
Also, OP, fuck that Georgian border control, but you should know def not all Georgians think like that — we cannot base our opinion on the actions of one person.
georgian border guards are horrible, shockingly unprofessional and arrogant
Have you ever arrived at Zvartnots airport around 2 AM? Last few times it takes 3 hours to pass the border control.
They are haters they all crossed the boarders illegally to come to New York. Trash, when you go to their store you won’t find one Armenian item but if you go to other stories IYKYK they have all Armenian products.
The agent is a racist piece of garbage. Do not generalise. Also I can feel how our people were arguing there.
