Georgia certainly benefits from the opening of the Upper Lars
checkpoint on the Russo-Georgian border, though the Georgian
authorities tried to comment on the opening from a different viewpoint,
hinting that the border opening is a great favor done to Armenia,
said President of Javakhq Patriotic Union, MP Shirak Torosyan at a
press conference today.
In his words, the opening of the checkpoint ensures the beginning of
the improvement of Russo-Georgian relations and provides a chance to
normalize relations.
Upon Tert.am’s request, commenting on a statement by Georgia’s
ambassador to Armenia Grigol Tabatadze that the opening of Upper Lars
does not mean Georgia and Russia have resumed relations, Torosyan
said: "Relations are settled when states have normal relations with
each other, [when they] have ambassadors and when there is no strict
regime to pass the border," said Torosyan.
