Azerbaijan Border Closed
Sorry to be the bearer of more bad news, but for those of us in or about to head towards Central Asia-read on.
Just heard from Kennichi- the border is currently closed into Azerbaijan (from Georgia) - he got turned back  this morning and so did several others.
There is a now a queue of travellers waiting to get into the Azerbaijan Embassy at Tbilisi in the morning when it opens. Luckily Tibs is quite close to the border.
There is a lot of confusion as to why they have been turned away - some have the "old" style visas issued more than five weeks ago, but at least one of those turned away has the "new" style visa.
I have met and emailed people who crossed over no problem in the last week, so this is fresh problems- hopefully it is not more fall out from swine flu.
If anyone hears anything else, please let us know.
