Nino Kalandadze Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia, Nino
Kalandadze has hailed the re-opening of the Zemo Larsi exit point,
Northern border with Russia.
Nino Kalandadze announced at the briefing today that it was a very
positive precedent, which was implemented with the help and mediation
of the embassy of Switzerland. She also defined that the re-opening
of the border was a response to the appeal of the Armenian government,
which speeded up the discussion of the issue.
`We assess this as a very positive precedent, because the conflict
between the two countries has not been reflected on the third party.
This is the first diplomatic agreement, which was reached by the
mediation of the Swiss embassy. The Armenian side appealed to us
several times to open the closed border and we did our best to open
the exit-point briefly,` Kalandadze said.
Upper Larsi exit point was opened at 7 a.m. from Georgian side and
at 11 a.m. by the Russian side today.
