BORDER TROUBLES * Turkey - Never-ending line of trucks reaches 17 km at Kapıkule
The seemingly never-ending line of trucks at the Kapıkule border gate, the world’s second-largest customs gate, has reached 17 kilometers as some 600 truck drivers wait for their turn to pass through the gateIstanbul,Turkey -Today's Zaman -25 Nov 2007: -- The line of trucks waiting at the Kapıkule border gate, the world’s second-largest customs gate in terms of both vehicle traffic and the number of people passing through, has reached 17 kilometers following a closure of the gate to all traffic after the Tunca River overflowed and caused mass flooding near the Bulgarian border pass of Kapitan Andreove... Authorities at the Kapıkule border gate noted that the three-day gate closure has caused trucks to line up in front of the Kapıkule gate and some 600 truck drivers are now waiting in line for their turn to pass through, saying: “As many truck drivers do not have transit bills to pass through Bulgaria and cannot use the Hamzabeyli border gate, they have to line up in front of the Kapıkule border gate. They have been waiting in lines for almost one week to pass through the gate to carry export goods to Balkan and European countries”...
