ArmInfo. In Dec Russia and Georgia will hold the second round of
their negotiations for the opening of Upper Lars check point, says
Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Grigory Karasin.
"After completing the modernization of the check point we suggested
resuming its activities. But the Georgian authorities are very
inconsistent in this matter. If they show sensible approach, the
second round of the talks may yield tangible results, says Karasin.
Gazeta.ru quotes Karasin as saying that Russia does not avoid working
contacts with the Georgian authorities, especially in cases concerning
humanitarian contacts and communication between Russian and Georgian
citizens.
Earlier, Russia, Georgia and Armenia reached preliminary agreement
on the opening of Upper Lars for cargo operations only. This decision
does not imply lifting of the Russian embargo on Georgian products.
The check point will let pass only transit cargoes.
