Armenian MP: "Russia hurts Armenia after closing Georgia checkpoint"
10 July 2006 [20:41] - Today.Az
A deputy chairman of Armenia's parliament said Monday that Russia had
hit Armenian interests after it closed a checkpoint on the
Russian-Georgian border for construction work.
Russia closed the Kazbegi-Verkhny Lars border checkpoint early
Saturday morning for an indefinite period, which has created problems
for people traveling between Georgia and Armenia, RIA Novosti
reports.
Vaan Ovannisyan said the border had been closed because of difficult
relations between Russia and Georgia.
"They [relations] have been worsening rather than improving
recently," he said. "Our Russian colleagues must understand that each
step against Georgia also hurts Armenia's interests. Therefore, they
should be more flexible and careful."
