Armenia has a stake in the opening of the Upper Lars checkpoint since
its goods are transported to Russia through that border crossing.
"But if Upper Lars is opened, even if only for Armenia, it's all the
same, Georgia will win, since that will strengthen Georgia's status
as a transit country," said Javakhq Patriotic Union president, MP
Shirak Torosyan, responding to Tert.am's question.
According to Torosyan, if Upper Lars opens also for the passage of
Georgian goods, then Georgia will once again come out on top.
