YEREVAN, Armenia (AP) -- The closure of a Russian-Georgian border
crossing following the Beslan hostage-taking raid last month has
halted hundreds of vehicles headed for Armenia, choking off a key
supply line to the country, officials said Friday.
More than 1,500 cars and trucks going from Russia to Armenia
via Georgia have been stopped by the closure of the Verkhny Lars
crossing point, said lawmaker Vladimir Badalyan, a co-chairman of an
Armenian-Georgian business group.
