Georgia has contractual commitments to Armenia on transit assurance
and cargo integrity, and I think it will fulfill them, Transport
and Communication Minister of Armenia Gourgen Sarkisyan said at a
press-conference on Tuesday when commenting on the question of the
Armenian journalist on possibility of opening the borders on May 8
in view of the opposition’s requirement on resignation of President
of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili.
According to the minister, the relations between Armenia and
Georgia are built on a contractual basis. Any contract stipulates a
responsibility for its non-fulfillment, the minister said.
G. Sarkisyan welcomed the statements by Russia about opening of the
Russian-Georgian checkpoint "Upper Lars". He said the cargo flow
from Armenia to Georgia by this route will be resumed although in
less volumes.
