/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "There are prospects for opening Kazbegi-Upper Lars
checkpoint," said Russian Deputy FM/State Secretary Grigory Karasin
in an interview with "Ogonok" Russian magazine. According to him,
discussions held in Yerevan will continue.
Georgia's Christian-Democratic Party leader Giorgy Targamadze announced
earlier that Georgian-Russian talks over opening the checkpoint are
mediated by Switzerland and Armenia, but the process will last till
the end of year. Delivery of transit freight via this checkpoint is
much safer, Georgian activist finds.
The issue of possible opening of Upper Lars checkpoint was discussed
in Georgian National Security Council's (NSC) November 13 session
attended by President Mikheil Saakashvili, Government members and
pro-opposition party representatives. Summing up meeting results, NSC
Secretary Eka Tkelashvili said that positive outcome of talks "Will be
to our neighbor's (Armenia's) benefit and not create security threats."
