ARKA
March 11, 2010
YEREVAN, March 11, /ARKA/. Georgia's ambassador to Armenia, Grigol
Tabatadze, said today the reopening of a key border crossing Upper Lars
on Georgian-Russian border has a very important economic importance
for Armenia.
'The reopening does not represent any financial interest for Georgia
because under our legislation transit is not taxed,' he said, adding
that the border is open for movement of any type of vehicle, people
and animals.
The Upper Lars is the only overland conduits to the outside world
for Armenian businessman. The Upper Lars border crossing was closed
by Moscow in June 2006 for repair.
