"Armenia suffered more than Georgia because of the prohibition of
the transportation of people and cargos through Kazbek - Upper Lars
checkpoint at the Russian-Georgian border," Georgian President Mikhail
Saakashvili declared yesterday during a news conference in Tbilisi.
"Closing of Upper Lars checkpoint did not cause particular damage
to the Georgian economy, since the Georgian export does not go this
way. But for ordinary people, who travel from one country to another,
it is bad. It is especially bad for Armenia, which imports most of
the goods through Upper Lars," said Saakashvili, noting that all the
same import of Georgian goods was not allowed this way.
